Head Note
Indian Penal Code,1860 - Section 304
Section 304 Part-II - Sentence - Inadequacy of Sentence - Case which have been proved by the prosecution in bringing home the guilt of the accused under Section 304 Part-II IPC undoubtedly show a despicable aggravated offence warranting punishment proportionate to the crime - Sentence of eleven months awarded by the High Court to the respondents for the said conviction held to be too meagre and not adequate and it would be travesty of justice -Though each of the appellant was directed to pay compensation of Rs.35000/- yet no amount of compensation could relieve the family of victim from the constant agony - Imposition of five years rigorous imprisonment on each of the respondent nos.2 to 4 for the conviction under Section 304 Part-II IPC would meet the ends of justice.
