Chhotu vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court held that the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC was inappropriate given the nature of the injury, which was the only one found on the deceased. The Court found that the evidence warranted a conviction under Section 304 Part II IPC instead, altering the sentence to ten years of rigorous imprisonment. The High Court's judgment was set aside, and the appeal was partly allowed.
