Case Summary: Shyama Devi v. State of Bihar (Crl.A. No. 68/2001) The Supreme Court heard the special leave appeal on January 12, 2001, where Shyama Devi (mother-in-law) and her co-appellant (husband of the deceased) challenged their conviction under Section 304-B IPC (causing death by negligence) and life imprisonment sentences, which had been upheld by the High Court of Patna. The Court granted leave and, considering the facts, circumstances, and the appellant's age, reduced Shyama Devi's sentence from life imprisonment to 7 years and the husband's sentence to 10 years, disposing of the appeal with these modifications.
