Even if the convict felt that victim was a thief, he had no business to become a supreme authority and to take law into his own hands and to hand out instant punishment to him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Such fiendish act, having shades of stone age, cannot be tolerated in the modern era having a fully developed justice delivery mechanism,&#8221; Additional Sessions Judge Manoj Jain said.<\/p>\n<p>The court, which awarded the maximum punishment for the offence, also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on Yadav.<\/p>\n<p>The judge noted that there is no actual material on record to suggest that victim was a thief and said from facts of the case it appeared Yadav got enraged because of the theft of his articles from his tempo but had no intention to kill him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (accused), under the fit of rage, gave a hammering to the victim. There does not seem to be any real premeditation.<\/p>\n<p>Action of accused is deplorable and condemnable though I strongly sense that a fleeting impulse overpowered his logical thinking&#8230; and in the heat of passion, he tied the victim and gave him whipping.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Accused had no intention to murder the victim at all and he merely wanted to teach him a lesson. However, to his misfortune, the injuries proved to be grave and he succumbed to the same eventually. Keeping in mind the overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to hold that this makes it to be case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>If an act is done with knowledge that it is likely to cause death, but without any intention to cause death, it is an offence under Section 304(II) of the IPC.<\/p>\n<p>According to the prosecution, on the intervening night of March 25-26, 2012 near Azadpur Mandi here, Yadav had beaten the victim up with a belt after tying him to his tempo, suspecting him to be stealing parts from his vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man has been awarded a 10-year jail term for beating a suspected thief to death by a Delhi court which observed that he had no business to become a supreme authority and take law into his hands to commit a &#8220;fiendish act having shades of stone age&#8221;.
