    Summary The Chhattisgarh High Court partly allowed the appeal of Mahatma Yadav, who was convicted of murder (Section 302 IPC) for deliberately hitting his father with a pickup vehicle during a sudden quarrel over firewood storage. The court reduced the conviction to culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 304 Part-I IPC) with 10 years rigorous imprisonment, finding the act satisfied Exception 4 to Section 300 IPC as it involved no premeditation, occurred in a heat of passion during a sudden fight, and involved no undue advantage or cruelty. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
