As per case facts, the appellant inflicted serious stab injuries on the deceased during an altercation, leading to the victim's death 13 days later due to Septicemia. The Trial Court ... and High Court convicted the appellant for murder under Section 302 IPC. The appeal sought conversion of the conviction to a lesser offence, like culpable homicide not amounting to murder, arguing lack of intention and delay in death. The question arose whether the appellant's act amounted to murder under Section 302 IPC or the lesser offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304, Part I, IPC. Finally, the Supreme Court converted the conviction from Section 302 IPC to Section 304 Part I IPC, noting that while the injury was sufficient to cause death with the knowledge of the offender, the lack of premeditation, the immediate provocation during the quarrel, and the death occurring after a 13-day gap due to Septicemia indicated the intention to cause death was missing, falling within the scope of culpable homicide not amounting to murder
