The sessions court instead included the offence of causing death by negligence against the IAS officer and a similar order was passed with regard to co-accused Wafa Feroze in the case, the public prosecutor dealing with the matter said.
Cuttack-based medical graduate Sriram Venkitaraman, who came second in this year's Union Public Services Commission examination says he has "realistic expectations" of his IAS career.
The sessions court had discharged Venkitaraman for the offence under Section 304 IPC as there was no medical report indicating he was drunk at the time of the accident.
