Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash proceedings against the respondents under Section 304A IPC, ruling that no rash or negligent act was established that led to the death of the deceased, Ammini. The Court noted that the Electric Inspector's report indicated no possibility of current leakage from the washing machine and suggested that the deceased may have accidentally caused her own death by mishandling the equipment. Consequently, the Court affirmed that the High Court correctly found no offense under Section 304A IPC was made out.
