casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 455/2002 (Ram Murti v. State of Haryana) The Supreme Court allowed Ram Murti's appeal and modified his conviction from murder (Section 302 IPC) to causing death by act endangering life (Section 304 Part I IPC), reducing his sentence from life imprisonment to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment. The Court found that based on eyewitness testimony, the accused did not fire with the intention to kill but rather during a heated altercation over an election-related matter, making culpable homicide without intent the appropriate charge. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
