2 This is an appeal against acquittal of the private respondents for the charges under Section 307 of Indian Penal Code (for brevity, IPC). They have been convicted under Section 324 of IPC for voluntary causing hurt by a knife which could lead to death. We have gone through the evidence.

3 The prosecution case itself was that the assailant and the injured informant are uncle and nephew. They live together.

Patna High Court CR. APP (DB) No.924 of 2016 dt.27-01-2017 They work together. On some issue, there was a spontaneous quarrel and the uncle is said to have stabbed the informant. When others came, the altercation aggravated. This is all the prosecution evidence. 4 The trial Court, in our view, rightly held that there was no intention to kill and the acts were not premeditated. 5 Thus, in view of the ingredients of Section 324 of IPC for which the private respondents have been convicted, having been made out, we see no reason to interfere. This appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.
