casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court heard Criminal Appeal No. 743 of 1998 on April 6, 2004, where Kedar Nath challenged his conviction under Section 302 IPC (murder). The Court found insufficient evidence of weapon use by the appellant despite post-mortem wounds, and converted the conviction to Section 304 Part I IPC (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) with a 10-year custodial sentence. The appellant was directed to surrender to custody to serve the remainder of the sentence after accounting for any remissions granted.
