Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Exception 4 to Section 300 IPC in a case where the appellant was convicted under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Yogesh. The Court held that the burden lies on the accused to prove the applicability of the Exception, which requires demonstrating that the act was committed in a sudden quarrel without premeditation. The Court found that the circumstances did not support the claim of a sudden quarrel, thus upholding the conviction for murder under Section 302 IPC.
