Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal under Section 304A IPC for causing death by negligence, but differed on the quantum of sentence. The Court imposed a fine of Rs 100 crores to be used for constructing a trauma center in memory of the Uphaar victims, emphasizing the need for better healthcare infrastructure in accident-prone areas. The decision was made in light of the differing opinions of the previous judges, with the Court mandating the establishment of the trauma center under the supervision of relevant authorities.
