Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Section 304(II) IPC, stating that the prosecution successfully established the culpability of the accused in the death of Ramu through consistent testimonies of injured witnesses and corroborating medical evidence. The Court clarified that the prosecution is not required to explain the injuries on the accused unless they are grievous, which was not the case here. The High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal was deemed justified based on the evidence presented.
