Jagtar Singh And Ors. vs State Of Punjab And Ors. on 3 December, 1971
32. Pertaining to Surender, learned counsel urged that
evidence established that a verbal altercation took place
before the act of stabbing; the verbal altercation was between
Surender and the deceased and in the heat of the moment
Surender gave a stab blow at the side of the chest but
unfortunately at a wrong angle. With reference to the post-
mortem report Ex.PW-12/A which noted the trajectory of the
CRL.A. 702/2001 Page 23 of 39
wound, learned senior counsel pointed out that the knife
traversed inward and upward towards the right side, entry
wound being on the left side of the chest and unfortunately
pierced the ventricle of the heart. Counsel urged that the
intention to cause the death of the deceased could not be
attributed to Surender with reference to his act. Learned
counsel urged that at best a knowledge of a lesser degree
referable to the third limb of Section 299 IPC i.e. that the injury
caused was likely to cause death could be attributed to
Surender and thus his conviction could be sustained only for
the offence punishable under Section 304 Part-II IPC, for which
submission learned senior counsel cited the decisions reported
as 1983 SCC (Cri.) 459 Jagtar Singh vs. State of Punjab and
1983 SCC (Cri.)
