A Full Bench of the Supreme Court altered the
conviction of the appellant from Section 302 IPC by applying the principal laid
down in Chamru Budhwa vs. State of Madhya Pradesh, AIR 1954 SC 652, that when
the fatal injury was inflicted by the appellant on the head of the deceased by
only one blow given in the manner alleged by the prosecution it could as well
be that the act by which death was caused was not done with the intention of
causing death or of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death. The
act appears to have been done with the knowledge that it was likely to cause
death, but without any intention to cause death or to cause such bodily injury
as is likely to cause death within the meaning of Part II of Section 304 of the
Indian Penal Code.
