Sewa Singh vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, Sewa Singh, was guilty of the offence under Section 304 Part-I IPC, following the conviction of co-accused Jasmer Singh for the same offence. The Court noted that since Jasmer Singh inflicted the fatal blow, the appellant's conviction under Section 302/34 IPC was not sustainable, leading to a reduction of his sentence to eight years rigorous imprisonment. The appeal was partly allowed, and the appellant was directed to be released upon completion of the revised sentence.
