Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304(A) of the IPC for causing death by negligence. The court found that the actions of the appellants directly led to the electric shock that resulted in the victim's death. The High Court's decision to confirm the trial court's conviction and sentence was deemed appropriate, and the appeal was dismissed.
