Overview
Holding that the murder was not a "premeditated and planned act", the Bombay High Court has quashed the life imprisonment sentenced to a Maharastra-based doctor.
Taking note of the fact that the doctor has already served jail-term for 14 years for allegedly murdering his pharmacist wife, the HC bench comprising of Justices M.N. Jadhav and A.S. Gadkari modified the order of the Sessions court and acquitted the doctor from charges of murder under Section 302 IPC and held him guilty of culpable homicide under Section 304 (Part-I) of IPC, additionally reducing his imprisonment to 10-years.
