casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed Dalbir Singh's appeal against his conviction for causing death by rash and negligent driving under Sections 279 and 304-A IPC. Singh, a Haryana Roadways bus driver, had knocked down and killed a cyclist in Bhiwani in 1994; the Court rejected his plea for probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, holding that given India's escalating road accident crisis, courts cannot apply lenient provisions to drivers convicted of causing death through negligent driving, as deterrence is essential to curb rash driving by professional drivers.
