Bansi vs The State (Nct Of Delhi) on 9 May, 2019
In Pandurang Narayan Jawalekar v. State of
Maharashtra [1979] 1 SCC 132: (AIR 1978 SC 1082), the facts
proved were that the appellant gave a blow on the head of the
deceased old man who was advising him not to quarrel. The injury
caused to the brain from one end to the other resulted in fracture
as could appear from the evidence of the doctor. It would show
that the accused must have struck the blow on the head of the
Crl.A.No.589/2004 Page 10 of 26
deceased with an iron bar with very great force. Accordingly it
was held that exception 4 does not apply though there was sudden
quarrel and that the fight was not premeditated to cause death. It
must be shown that the injury caused is not cruel one. The
conviction for offence under S.302 by the High Court reversing the
acquittal by trial court was upheld.
