List of Laws
Indian Penal Code, 1860; Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.)
- Indian Penal Code, 1860: The judgment discusses Section 302 IPC, under which the appellant was convicted for murder. It also discusses Section 300 IPC, specifically Exception 4, which deals with culpable homicide not amounting to murder when committed without premeditation in a sudden fight. The court found that the appellant's actions were cruel and unusual, thus not falling under Exception 4 of Section 300 IPC. The appellant's counsel argued that the offence could fall under Section 304(I) IPC (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), but the court rejected this argument.
- Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.): The judgment mentions Section 313 Cr.P.C., referring to the examination of the accused. The defense of the appellant was of total denial during the examination under this section.
