Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of respondent No.1 under Section 304 (Part-I) IPC for causing the death of Rajesh, while setting aside the convictions of the other accused under Sections 302/149 and 325/149 IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented established the culpability of respondent No.1, who used a firearm in the assault, while the remaining accused were not found to have participated in the crime as charged. The judgment of the High Court was modified to reflect this distinction in culpability among the accused.
