Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) - Section 300 Exception 4 - Claim the *Benefit of sudden quarrel* -

▪Two were armed with sickles,

▪one with an iron pipe

▪and the other with wooden staffs -

Even if it is assumed that they may not have come with the intention of killing, *the fact that they were armed (•before hand), clearly indicates*

that the occurrence did not take place

▪in the heat of passion,

▪upon a sudden quarrel.

As pointed, both sides were coming to attend a Panchayat to settle a dispute.

*Where was the need to carry arms if the intention was only to settle a dispute?*

Even otherwise, *Exception 4* is not applicable because *the manner in which the blow was given right on the middle of the head,*

brings this case squarely within clause "Fourthly" of Section 300 IPC.
