Kala Singh @ Gurnam Singh vs The State Of Punjab on 21 September, 2021
4. The counsel also submitted that Court has to take note
of nature of injuries, no weapon was used and there was no
any intention to take away the life. The incident is nothing but
a case of sudden fight. The deceased had not sustained any
fracture according to the evidence of the medical expert.
When such being the case, the trial Court fails to take note of
the fact that case comes within the purview of Section 300
exception. The counsel in support of his argument relies upon

CRL.A.NO.100668 OF 2025
the judgment of the Apex Court dated 21.09.2021 passed in
Criminal Appeal Nos. 11140-111141/2019 (Kala Singh
alias Gurnam Singh Vs. State of Punjab. The counsel
brought to notice of this Court the discussion made by the
Apex Court in paragraph number 9 wherein an observation is
made that "it is clear from the evidence and other material
placed on record that there was no intention to kill the
deceased. It is clear from the evidence on record that scuffle
had taken place on the spur of the moment and a sudden fight
had taken place in the heat of passion upon a sudden quarrel.
It was not a pre-meditated one and as there was no intention
on the part of the appellant and co-accused either to cause
death or cause such bodily injury as is likely to cause death,
the High Court ought not to have convicted the appellant for
the offence under Section 304 Part I of IPC. In absence of
any intention on the part of the appellant, we are of the view
that it is a clear case where the conviction of the appellant is
to be modified to one under Section 304 Part II IPC by
maintaining the conviction for the offence of Section 201 of
IPC".
Uday Singh vs State Of U.P on 4 September, 2002
5. The counsel also brought to notice of this Court the
discussion made in paragraph number 10 of the judgment
referred supra wherein the judgment in Uday Singh V. State
of U.P. reported in (2017) 11 SC 807 paragraph No. 6 was
referred to say that "it was only in a fight, hand to fist, that
both Gainda Singh and the appellant had held at the neck of
the deceased, Shishupal Singh with such force as to ultimately
result in strangulation and his death. It is very difficult to
conceive as to how much pressure was applied either by
Gainda Singh or the appellant on the deceased's neck so as to
cause death". The counsel also brought to notice of this court
that further discussion was made that "the action is because
of the sudden unarmed fight nor can we conclude that the
appellant had an intention to cause death or cause such bodily
injury as is likely to cause death". The counsel would submit
that the Apex Court modified the conviction for 304 Part II as
against 302 IPC.
