In the light of the fact that the High Court has thought it fit to companyvict the appellants under Section 304 Part II simplicitor of the Indian Penal Code with a sentence of 10 years R.I. and also in the light of the fact that the prosecution started in the year 1993 and the appellants have already undergone more than one year of the sentence awarded to them, we think it would be appropriate to reduce the sentence to 5 years R.I. We modify the impugned order to the above extent.
