Judgment text excerpt

The Bombay High Court held that Exception 4 to Section 300 IPC, which allows for culpable homicide not to be classified as murder under certain conditions, was not applicable in this case. The court found that the appellant had taken undue advantage of his physical strength and acted in a cruel manner, as evidenced by the 14 injuries inflicted on the deceased. The court dismissed the appeal, affirming the conviction for murder, as the conditions for Exception 4 were not satisfied.
