Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to alter the charge against the respondents from Section 302 IPC to Section 304-A IPC, emphasizing that the trial must determine if a case under Section 304-A IPC is made out. The Court found no merit in the State's appeal, affirming the High Court's reasoning that the alteration of charges was justified at this stage. The judgment underscores the necessity for a trial to ascertain the appropriate punishment for the respondents if found guilty under the revised charge.
