State Of Gujarat vs Puriya @ Parsottam Natvarbhai ... on 20 September, 2017
37. We are called upon to examine whether the case
against accused No.4, Puriya, would fall under
exceptions secondly to fourthly or under the first
part of Section300 IPC. In our considered view, the
present case against accused No.4 would squarely fall
under the first part of Section300 of the IPC, as the
act by which the death of the deceased has been caused
has been done with the intention of causing death. No
mitigating circumstances emerge from the evidence on
record to bring the case against Puriya within the
ambit of any of the exceptions to Section300.
Referring once again to the quotation from State of
A.P. Vs. Rayavarapu Punnayya contained in the
judgment of Devendra Nath Srivastava Vs. State of
Uttar Pradesh (supra), the first question, whether
the accused has done an act by doing which he has
caused the death of another, is answered in this case.
The second question whether the act of the accused
would amount to culpable homicide as defined in
Section299 IPC is also answered in the affirmative.
