(Per
\n: HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE A.L.DAVE)<\/p>\n
\tThe
\nappellant is convicted by the Sessions Court, Chhota Udepur for the
\noffence of murder of one Kanaksing Bhimsing Rathwa by inflicting a
\nDharia blow on the head of the deceased. The incident occurred on
\n12.7.2003 at about 2-30 PM at village Ghagharpura of Jetpur Pavi
\ntaluka of Baroda district. The deceased happened to be the nephew of
\nthe appellant. The appellant, Bhimsing, father of the victim, and
\nKhumansing are brothers and were having some disputes regarding land.
\nOn the day of the incident, the appellant had gone to the house of
\nAmrutbhai Vechatbhai, who is also his nephew. The appellant,
\nBhimsing, father of the deceased, and Vechatbhai were there. After
\nsometime Khumansing joined them. They had some discussion about the
\nproperty dispute, followed by an altercation, and then the fight. The
\nappellant was attacked upon with a wooden log by Bhimsing, whereas
\nhis wife was attacked by Bhimsing, Kanaksing and Vijay. While the
\nepisode was on, the appellant rushed to his house, which was located
\nat a short distance of about 70 feet, and came back with a Dharia and
\ninflicted a blow on the head of Kanaksingh, as a result of which,
\nKanaksing fell down and the appellant went away. The deceased was
\ntaken to hospital by relatives. From Jetpur Pavi hospital, he was
\nreferred to SSG Hospital, Baroda, but while he was being taken to SSG
\nHospital, Baroda, he succumbed to the injuries. An FIR was lodged by
\nBhimsing Manga Rathwa. On the basis of the FIR, an offence was
\nregistered by Jetpur Pavi police and investigated. Having found
\nsufficient material, a charge-sheet was filed in the Court of JMFC,
\nChhota Udepur, who, in turn, committed the case of the Court of
\nSessions.\n<\/p>\n
2.\tSessions
\nCase No.83 of 2003 was registered. Charge was framed against the
\nappellant at Exh.3 for the offence of murder and offence punishable
\nunder Section 135 of the Bombay Police Act, to which he pleaded not
\nguilty and claimed to be tried.\n<\/p>\n
3.\tThe
\ntrial Court having found that the charge of murder was proved,
\nconvicted him for the same  and sentenced him to undergo imprisonment
\nfor  life with a fine of Rs.1,000\/-, in default, to undergo SI for
\none month. He came to be acquitted for the offence punishable under
\nSection 135 of the Bombay Police Act. This appeal challenges the
\njudgment and order rendered by Sessions Court, Vadodara at Chhota
\nUdepur on 17.1.2005 in the said Sessions Case No.83 of 2003.\n<\/p>\n
4.\tIncidentally,
\nthe appellant lodged a cross complaint with Pavi Jetpur police
\nstation in respect of this very incident and the police has
\nregistered the offence and after investigating the same, filed
\ncharge-sheet in the Court of JMFC, Chhota Udepur and is yet to be
\ncommitted and tried.\n<\/p>\n
5.\tLearned
\nadvocate Ms Shah for the appellant submitted that there are five
\neye-witnesses to the incident and if their depositions are seen along
\nwith the fact that the appellant has himself lodged an FIR in respect
\nof the same incident, it is difficult for her to press for a clean
\nacquittal or to press for non-involvement of the appellant in the
\nincident.\n<\/p>\n
5.1\tMs
\nShah, however, submitted that if the evidence of the eye-witnesses is
\nseen, it is clear that the appellant had gone to the house of his
\nnephew bare handed and had no weapon with him. Dispute, of course,
\nwas there, which was sought to be solved with negotiations and, in
\ndoing so, heat was generated. There was an altercation, followed by a
\nfight, where the appellant came to be assaulted upon with a wooden
\nlog, so also his wife. This enraged the appellant and he, therefore,
\nrushed to his house located in a close proximity of the place of
\nincident, brought out a Dharia and inflicted a blow on Kanaksing, who
\nwas actively participating in the incident, by pelting stones. The
\nappellant inflicted only one dharia blow. Unfortunately, the deceased
\nfell down and, ultimately, succumbed to the injuries. If the
\nappellant had any intention of causing death of the deceased, he
\nwould have repeatedly inflicted the blows. The incident has,
\ntherefore, occurred without pre-meditation, out of a quarrel and
\nfight. The intention of causing death of the deceased cannot be
\nattributed to the appellant and, therefore, the case would not fall
\nunder Section 302 of IPC but his conviction may be altered to one
\nunder Section 304 Part-II of IPC. Ms Shah, therefore, submitted that
\nthe appeal may be allowed accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
6.\tLearned
\nAPP Mr Parikh has opposed this appeal. According to him, the
\nappellant had rushed to his house, and came back with a Dharia and
\nthen inflicted a fatal blow on the deceased. The intention can be
\ninferred from the fact that he had rushed to his house,  brought
\nDharia, and caused fatal injury on vital part of the body of the
\ndeceased, namely, head. According to Mr Parikh, therefore, this is a
\nclear case of murder and the trial Court is justified in convicting
\nthe appellant for murder. The appeal does not call for any
\ninterference in exercise of appellate jurisdiction. The appeal may,
\ntherefore, be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
7.\tMs
\nShah is right when she contends that it is difficult for her to argue
\nfor a clean acquittal or non-involvement of the appellant in the
\nincident. The prosecution has examined first informant Bhimsing Manga
\nRathwa at Exh.7, Vijay Bhimsing Rathwa at Exh.10, Niruben Bhimsing
\nRathwa at Exh.9, Ramesh Makabhai Rathwa at Exh.14 and Jayanti
\nChhuniyabhai Rathwa at Exh.15.\n<\/p>\n
7.1\tThese
\nare eye-witnesses to the incident and if their depositions are seen,
\nwhat emerges from their depositions as a whole, i.e.
\nexamination-in-chief and cross-examination, is that the appellant had
\ngone to the house of his nephew Amrutbhai Vechatbhai. There all
\nbrothers assembled, namely, Bhimsing, Khumansing and Vechatbhai. It
\nis also not in dispute that the brothers were having some dispute
\nover land. The discussion started and resulted into altercation. It
\nalso emerges from the evidence of eye-witnesses that the appellant
\nand his wife both were assaulted upon by the others either with a
\nwooden log or with stones, as a result, the appellant rushed to his
\nhouse, brought a Dharia, and inflicted a blow on head of Kanaksing,
\nwho was engaged in stone pelting. After the blow, Kanaksing fell down
\nand then was taken to the Community Heath Centre at Jetpur Pavi from
\nwhere he was referred to SSG Hospital, Baroda and died on the way.
\nThe evidence of eye-witnesses also reveals that the appellant
\ninflicted only one blow on the head of the deceased. It also emerges
\nfrom the evidence that after the appellant inflicted a blow on the
\ndeceased, he fell down and the episode stopped. Therefore,
\nnecessarily, assault on the appellant and his wife  was prior to the
\nappellant going to get the Dharia and inflicting the blow. One would
\nobviously be enraged if he and his wife both are assaulted upon by
\nothers and same thing seems to have happened with the appellant. It
\nemerges from the evidence that they had assembled for negotiating
\nabout the land dispute, which resulted into altercation, followed by
\na fight and then the assault. There was no pre-meditation. The
\nappellant inflicted only one blow and cannot be said to have taken
\nany undue advantage of the situation. In our view, therefore,
\nException-4 to Section 300 would be attracted as all the ingredients
\nhaving been satisfied through the evidence of eye-witnesses.\n<\/p>\n
8.\tDr
\nRamanlal Vaishnav is examined at Exh.25. He had performed the
\npost-mortem and prepared post-mortem notes at Exh.29. The post-mortem
\nnotes indicate the cause of death to be extradural and subdural
\nhammertonea followed by incised wound on skull vacult. The doctor
\nalso opined that the injuries were homicidal and were possible with
\nsharp cutting weapon. The injuries were ante-mortem and sufficient in
\nthe ordinary course of nature to cause death.\n<\/p>\n
9.\tIn
\nlight of the foregoing discussion, it is clear that there was no
\nintention on the part of the appellant to cause death of the deceased
\nand the offence of murder would not be constituted. It would be  an
\noffence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder punishable under
\nSection 304 of IPC.\n<\/p>\n
10.\tThe
\nnext question that arises for consideration is whether  the case
\nwould fall under Part-I or Part-II of Section 304 of IPC. According
\nto learned APP, it would fall under Part-I of Section 304, whereas
\naccording to Ms Shah, it would be fall under Part-II of the said
\nsection.\n<\/p>\n
11.\tConsidering
\nthe evidence on record, it is clear that the appellant after being
\nassaulted, rushed to his house and brought Dharia. He inflicted only
\none blow with Dharia on the head of the deceased, but the fact that
\nhe used the Dharia and gave a blow on head of the deceased, which is
\na vital organ,  and considering the nature of injury, we are of the
\nview that the intention on the part of the appellant  to cause injury
\nwas with the knowledge that the act was likely to cause such bodily
\ninjury as was likely to cause death and, therefore, the case would
\nfall under Part-I of Section 304 of IPC.\n<\/p>\n
12.
\nThe appeal would thus stand partly allowed. The appellant’s
\nconviction for the offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC is
\naltered to one punishable under Section 304 Part-I of IPC.\n<\/p>\n
13.\tWe
\nhave heard both the sides on the quantum of punishment.\n<\/p>\n
14.\tMs
\nShah submitted that the appellant is aged about 56 years and has a
\nwife, who is required to be looked after. His daughter, having
\nmarried, stays separately. Even otherwise, he is a poor man and,
\ntherefore, minimum punishment may be inflicted.\n<\/p>\n
15.\tLearned
\nAPP Mr Parikh has opposed the submissions.\n<\/p>\n
16.\tHaving
\nregard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering that
\nthe conviction is altered from Section 302 to Section 304 Part-I of
\nIPC and the age factor of the appellant, social background, we are of
\nthe view that ends of justice would be met if the appellant is
\nsentenced to undergo RI for 7 (seven) years with a fine of Rs.1,000\/-
\n(Rupees one thousand), in default, SI for one month. The appellant
\nshall be entitled to the benefit of set off.\n<\/p>\n
\tIt
\nis directed accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
