JUDGEMENT

This is an appeal directed against the judgement passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Panjim dated 31st December, 1968, whereby he convicted the appellants under S.304 Part II of the Penal Code and sentenced each of them to undergo one year's R. I. and a fine of Rs. 150 each and, in default of payment of fine, to undergo R. I. for 45 days. The learned Sessions Judge also directed that out of the fine paid, a sum of Rs. 600, may be paid to the mother of the deceased, Vittal Naik. The appellant felt aggrieved by this judgement and accordingly preferred this appeal. The State also moved this Court for enhancement of the sentence imposed on the appellants in accordance with the provisions of S.439(1) Criminal P.C.
