Headnote | Penal Code, 1860 – s.302 – Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 – s.3(2)(v) – Murder – Prosecution case that when victim was cultivating the field and grazing his cattle, appellant-accused came to the field of the victim and left his buffaloes for grazing – In a wordy altercation, the appellant hit the victim on his head with an axe due to which victim fell down and later succumbed to injuries – FIR was registered against the appellant u/s. 302 IPC and u/s. 3(2)(v) of the SC/ ST(Prevention of Atrocities) Act – Trial Court convicted appellant under the said sections of the Act and sentenced him life imprisonment – High Court affirmed the conviction – On appeal, held: In the instant case, the appellant and deceased exchanged wordy abuses on which, appellant gave deceased blows on his head causing six head injuries – Where the occurrence took place suddenly and there was no premeditation on the part of the accused, it falls under Exception 4 to s. 300 IPC – Therefore, conviction of appellant u/s.302 IPC is modified as conviction u/s. 304 Part-II IPC – Insofar as conviction under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act is concerned, from the evidence and other materials on record, there is nothing to suggest that the offence was committed by the appellant only because the deceased belonged to a Scheduled Caste – Thus, conviction u/s. 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act is not sustainable. |
