Case Summary: State of U.P. v. Raj Bahadur Singh (Crl.A. 429/1999) On 17 July 2001, the Supreme Court allowed the State's appeal and restored the conviction of respondents Raj Bahadur Singh and Ram Nath Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, sentencing them to life imprisonment. The High Court had erroneously reduced the conviction to Section 304 Part I IPC (culpable homicide) based on the sudden quarrel exception, but the Supreme Court found this reasoning flawed—the accused's deliberate act of retrieving licensed guns and firing from their rooftop demonstrated clear intention to cause death, not merely bodily injury. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
