    The Orissa High Court modified the appellants' conviction from murder (IPC Section 302) to culpable homicide not amounting to murder (IPC Section 304 Part 1), finding that the fatal axe blow occurred during a sudden quarrel over a land dispute without premeditation. The court sentenced them to 7 years rigorous imprisonment, considering the incident happened 30 years ago and their prior custody during trial.
