Baij Nath vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 Part I IPC for causing the death of Kalika Prasad by inflicting a lathi blow during a dispute over land. The Court found that the evidence, including the post-mortem report, established that the injury inflicted was intentional and resulted in death, thus affirming the trial court's decision. The appellant's argument for a lesser charge under Section 325 IPC was rejected, confirming the sentence of 7 years imprisonment.
