Husband who called police himself after killing pregnant wife gets life sentence commuted to 7 years: MP HC holds verbal taunt amounted to grave and sudden provocation
The Court found that the wife’s statement that she could keep a thousand husbands like him constituted grave and sudden provocation within Exception 1 to Section 300 IPC, and that the fatal injuries were consistent with a single blow rather than repeated pelting, bringing the case within Section 304 Part II rather than Part I.
