SUMMARY The Supreme Court partially allowed the appeal of Nihore Koeri and others, who were originally convicted under Section 304 Part I IPC for causing death during a land dispute. The Court found the High Court failed to properly re-appreciate evidence and determined the accused lacked intent to cause death. The conviction was reduced to Section 304 Part II read with Section 149 IPC, and sentence was reduced from 10 years to 5 years rigorous imprisonment.
