Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 1029/2000 - Ramakrishnan v. State of Tamil Nadu Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed both the application for restoration and the special leave petition on 12 April 2004. The Court upheld the trial court's conviction under Section 304 Part I IPC and the 7-year rigorous imprisonment sentence, finding it lenient rather than excessive. Key Issue: The petitioner challenged his conviction, arguing he lacked intent to kill and should be convicted under Section 304 Part II IPC instead. The Court rejected this, noting that since he caused fatal injury with a deadly weapon, the Section 304 Part I conviction was justified. Procedural Note: The Court criticized the petitioner for failing to surrender as required by Supreme Court Rules despite being granted time, and only producing proof of surrender after arrest—conduct the Court refused to encourage.
