Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Sections 304 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, in a case involving the death of Gurnam Singh due to a road rage incident. The Court held that the prosecution must establish a clear causal link between the accused's actions and the victim's death, emphasizing the necessity of definitive medical evidence to ascertain the cause of death. The judgment underscored the importance of corroborative evidence in establishing guilt under the IPC, ultimately leading to the acquittal of the accused due to insufficient evidence linking them to the fatal injuries.
