The Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench overturned a 1986 trial court acquittal and convicted two surviving accused in a 1984 Unnao district case for culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 of the IPC. The case involved the death of Jamuna Prasad following a dispute over roof drainage. The high court rejected the earlier self-defence claim, calling the trial court's findings flawed, and scheduled sentencing hearings for May 11.
