casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Manokaran v. State of Tamil Nadu Hearing Date: October 1, 2002 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Manokaran's criminal appeal. Manokaran, convicted under Section 302 IPC (murder) and sentenced to life imprisonment for fatally stabbing a tailor during a street procession, failed in his argument that Exception IV to Section 300 IPC should apply. The Court rejected contentions of sudden quarrel and lack of aggression, finding the nature of the neck wound evidenced "cruelties and brutalities." The Court found no merit in the appeal. Additional Note: Tamil Nadu's Joint Secretary to Government assured the Court that any improper governmental practices in this case would not continue and would strictly comply with statutory requirements going forward.
