casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 857/2001 - Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu The Supreme Court upheld Lakshmanan's conviction under Section 304A IPC for causing death by rash/negligent driving of a bus that struck and killed a 75-year-old woman in a bazaar on 31.7.1995, dragging her 22 feet. However, the Court reduced his imprisonment sentence from one year (as confirmed by High Court) to three months, considering the victim's partial contributory negligence in attempting to cross the road, while maintaining the fine portion undisturbed.
