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.
