Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether the appellate court was justified in maintaining the sentence under Section 308 of the Indian Penal Code, in a case involving injury caused by a bus driver and conductor. The case involved a minor girl who was pushed from a bus, leading to serious injuries, allegedly due to the accused's negligence. The court upheld the appellate court's decision, emphasizing the severity of the injury and the culpability of the accused under relevant sections of the IPC. The judgment underscores the importance of accountability in cases of grievous hurt caused by negligent acts.
