Summary
The appellant sought alteration of his conviction under Section 307 IPC to Section 324 IPC. HELD- Section 307 IPC requires intention or knowledge to cause death; mere use of a knife is insufficient. The fatal abdominal injury was not reliably attributed to the appellant, while the only proved injury was simple and did not establish such intention or knowledge. Conviction altered to Section 324 IPC; sentence reduced to period undergone, fine maintained.
