Sukhbir Singh vs State Of Haryana on 20 February, 2002
There is no doubt in our minds that the incident took
place without premeditation and the time gap between
the heated exchange of words and the second incident
of stabbing is only of 2-3 minutes, which clearly
indicates that it was a sudden fight and there was no
time for the tempers to have cooled so as to allow in the
concept of premeditation. The tempers had not cooled
and, therefore, in our view, the stabbing incident has to
be regarded as in the course of a sudden fight in the
heat of passion upon a sudden quarrel. 15. A similar
situation had arisen in the case of Sukhbir Singh v.
State of Haryana (2002) 3 SCC 327. In that case also
there was no enmity between the parties. The
occurrence had taken place when Sukhbir Singh got
mud splashes on account of sweeping of a street by
Ram Niwas and a quarrel ensued. The deceased
slapped the Appellant for no fault of his. The quarrel
was sudden and on account of the heat of passion. The
accused went home and came armed in the company of
others without telling them of his intention. The time
gap between the quarrel and the fight was a few
minutes only. The Supreme Court observed that it was,
therefore, probable that there was insufficient lapse of
time between the quarrel and the fight which meant that
the occurrence was sudden within the meaning of
Exception 4 of Section 300 IPC."

this Court had converted the conviction from one under Section 302 to
Section 304 Part I IPC, observing that:
B.D.Khunte vs Union Of India & Ors on 15 July, 2014
41. We may also fruitfully refer to the judgment of the Apex Court in B.D.
Khunte v. Union of India, (2015) 1 SCC 286 wherein in respect of
Exception I to Section 300, it was observed as under:
Smt. Sandhya Jadhav vs State Of Maharashtra on 31 March, 2006
38. All the essentials of Exception 4 to Section 300 stand satisfied. The
offence was committed in a sudden fight having been erupted between the
deceased and respondent Arjun; which was pacified, however, there was no

time to allow cooling of tempers. Within a couple of minutes, the respondent
Arjun returned alongwith respondent Loliya armed with a danda and a
knife. Now neither the danda was recovered nor Ex.P-1 was identified as
the knife used by the respondent Arjun. The deceased protested and the fight
resumed and in the heat of passion, the respondent Arjun took out a knife,
which was procured in the little time between the two incidents, and gave a
solitary blow on the abdomen of the deceased while the respondent Loliya
immobilized him. Had there been any premeditation, the respondent Arjun
might have stabbed the deceased in the first altercation or at a vital part.
Finally, it cannot be said that the respondents had acted in a cruel or
unusual manner. Accordingly, the offence punishable under Section 302 was
not made out [See Sandhya Jadhav v. State of Maharashtra, (2006) 4 SCC
653 (paragraphs 8 - 9)].
