Case History
Summary: Pathani Jena v. State of Orissa, Crl.A. No. 001076/2003 On 25 August 2003, the Supreme Court heard Pathani Jena's appeal challenging his conviction for causing his step-brother's death. Originally convicted under IPC Section 302 (murder), the High Court had reduced it to Section 304 Part I with 7 years imprisonment. The Court altered the conviction to Section 304 Part II (causing death by act endangering life, without murder intent), citing the single blow, absence of prior enmity, and heat-of-moment quarrel, and sentenced the appellant to 5 years imprisonment.
