casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 996/2001 - Ramasamy Gounder v. State of Tamil Nadu On 28 September 2001, the Supreme Court partly allowed Ramasamy Gounder's appeal against his conviction for murder under Section 302 IPC. The Court found insufficient evidence that Gounder's elbow blow caused the victim's fractured ribs, particularly given that accused no.4 also inflicted fist blows; consequently, the Court downgraded his conviction to Section 323 IPC. Since Gounder had already served 8+ months in custody, the Court deemed this sufficient sentence and directed his immediate release if not required in other cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
