Summary of Crl.A. No. 69/2004 (KANCHI v. STATE OF HARYANA) The Supreme Court allowed Kanchi's appeal and modified his conviction from Section 304 Part II IPC (causing death by negligence) to Section 326 IPC (causing grievous hurt), reducing his sentence from eight years to four years rigorous imprisonment. The Court found that the occurrence arose suddenly during a scuffle, and based on the nature of injuries and weapons used, the case fell under Section 326 rather than Section 304 Part II IPC.
