Case History
Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 678/2000 - Suryamani Singh v. State of U.P. Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and converted the appellant's conviction from murder (Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC) to culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 304 Part II read with Section 34 IPC), reducing the sentence to 7 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court found the appellant lacked murderous intent, having inflicted only one lathi blow while fatal injuries resulted from attacks by co-accused Bahadur Singh and Algu Singh.
