Case History
Summary: On 05/04/2010, the Supreme Court heard Criminal Appeal No. 689 of 2010 filed by Hari Singh and others against the High Court's July 2009 judgment upholding their conviction under Section 302 IPC (murder) with Section 149 IPC. The Court found the incident occurred in heat of the moment over a water course dispute and modified the conviction from Section 302 to Section 304 Part-II IPC (causing death by negligence), while maintaining convictions under Section 149 and Sections 325, 324, 323 IPC. Since each appellant had served approximately 6 years, the Court reduced sentences to time already undergone and directed their immediate release from jail unless required for other cases.
