Summary: Crl.A. No. 001481/2004 (Champa Lal v. State of Rajasthan) On 3 March 2011, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal in part. Champa Lal's conviction for murder (Section 302 IPC) was reduced to culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 304 Part-I IPC), with sentence reduced to 7 years rigorous imprisonment. His convictions for Arms Act violations were maintained. The Court found both parties mutually provoked each other during a heated dispute over food collection rights, warranting downgrade from murder to culpable homicide.
