Case Summary: State of A.P. v. Pusam Ramaiah, Crl.A. No. 348/1998 The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Andhra Pradesh's appeal on 10 March 2004. The State had challenged the High Court's judgment that reduced Ramaiah's conviction from murder (Section 302 IPC) to causing death by negligence (Section 304-A IPC). The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding that an arrow released by Ramaiah while shooting birds in a Jawar field unintentionally struck and killed the deceased, constituting negligence rather than murder, despite strained relations between the parties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
