Summary: State of Kerala v. Kuriachan Joseph (Crl.A. No. 842/2009) The Supreme Court dismissed Kerala's appeal against Kuriachan Joseph on July 13, 2017. The High Court had reversed the trial court's culpable homicide conviction, finding Joseph acted within his right of private defence when he fatally stabbed the deceased with a knife after the deceased attacked him with a pint bottle. The Court upheld the High Court's factual findings that Joseph did not exceed lawful self-defence and was not acting brutally or cruelly.
