RAM DAS vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 Part 2 IPC, finding that the trial court's judgment was perverse and unsupported by evidence. The Court established that there was no intention to cause death as the act occurred during a sudden quarrel, leading to an 8-year rigorous imprisonment sentence. The evidence of witnesses was deemed credible, and the Court expressed surprise that the case fell under Section 304 Part 2 given the severity of the injuries sustained by the deceased.
