Case History
Summary: Adu Ram v. Mukna (Crl.A. No. 646/1999) The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's alteration of the five accused's conviction from murder (IPC Section 302) to culpable homicide (Section 304 Part I), finding that the injuries—34 in total but mostly on non-vital body parts with only simple injuries to the head—and the quarrel-based assault circumstances did not support murder charges. The Court imposed a custodial sentence of six years (instead of life imprisonment), directing a fine of Rs. 10,000 be paid to the deceased's widow as compensation.
