Case History
Case Summary: Shriram v. State of M.P. (Crl.A. 331/1997) The Supreme Court upheld appellant Shriram's conviction under IPC Sections 304 Part II (causing death by negligence) and related provisions for his role in a fatal assault on Hemraj Mina on September 4, 1987. The Court rejected the defence plea that witnesses were unreliable due to relationship with the deceased, finding their evidence credible after careful scrutiny, and dismissed arguments that unexplained minor injuries on the accused indicated self-defence. The Court affirmed the five-year imprisonment sentence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
