casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Purshothaman and others, who were convicted under Section 304 Part-I IPC for the murder of Retnam in a dispute over water sharing. The Court found that the apprehension of danger continued during the assault, thus extending the benefit of private defence under Section 97 IPC to all accused persons. The convictions and sentences were set aside, and bail bonds of accused on bail were discharged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
