Sec 300, P.P.C in a case of sudden occurrence

The court while encapsulating the applicability of provisions of exception 4 to sec 300, P.P.C in a case of sudden occurrence resulting in murder opined that in order to attract the provisions it not only had to be established that the case was one of a sudden fight taking place without any premeditation in the heat of passion upon a sudden quarrel but it was also required as a necessary ingredient that the offender must not have taken undue advantage or must not have acted in a cruel or unusual manner.
