casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 183 of 2000 The Supreme Court allowed Harijan Mohan Bhai Nathabhai's appeal and reduced his conviction from Section 302 (murder) to Section 304-Part I IPC (causing death by negligence), finding that he acted in self-defence after being attacked first. The Court noted the trial court's own observations acknowledged excessive self-defence but failed to apply the appropriate lesser charge. Having served over eight years in jail, the appellant was released forthwith. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
