Buudhu Singh vs State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court modified the conviction of the accused from Section 302 IPC to Section 304 Part II IPC, establishing that the intention to kill was not present as the assault was a single blow and not repeated. The Court held that while the accused acted with common intention, the lack of intent to cause death warranted a lesser charge. Consequently, the sentence was adjusted to the period already undergone by the accused.
