Short Note : 1. The appellant has filed the appeal from Jail against the judgment dated 29th December, 1976 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Barwani in, Sessions Trial No.177/76, whereby the appellant has been convicted under section 304 Part II, IPC, and sentenced thereunder to suffer rigorous imprisonment for five years. Held: It further appears that it is only due to the provocation caused to the appellant by deceased Shobhabai that in that heat of the moment, he gave a blow with Bakkhar stick on her temporal region of the head which is a vital part of the body. Therefore, knowledge can be attributed to the appellant about the consequences of his act more so, when he knew that deceased Shobhabai was an old woman. Thus, the conviction of the appellant under section 304 Part II, IPC, has to be maintained. 2. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the young age of the appellant, it would meet the ends of justice if the Jail sentence of five years awarded to him is reduced to two and a half years. Appeal partly allowed. Sentence reduced.
