As per case facts, an incident occurred on the evening of 21.09.2003 when Chanan Singh, accompanied by his son and brother, attempted to divert canal water. The accused objected and ... struck Chanan Singh on the head multiple times with a 'kahi'. Chanan Singh succumbed to his injuries the next day. The accused was convicted under Section 302 IPC and sentenced to life imprisonment. The accused appealed, challenging the conviction, while the complainant sought enhancement of the sentence. The question arose whether the conviction under Section 302 IPC was justified, considering arguments of FIR delay, false implication, lack of motive, and if the offence fell under Section 304 IPC. Finally, the High Court found no merit in the accused's appeal, affirming that the delay in FIR was explained and eyewitness testimony was consistent with medical evidence. The motive was established, and the deliberate, unprovoked assault on a vital body part clearly constituted murder. The Court upheld the conviction and life imprisonment, dismissing the complainant's plea for sentence enhancement as the case wasn't "rarest of rare."
