The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court commuted the life sentence of a man to 10 years in prison. In 2015, he killed his wife. The only crime of the wife was that her meat curry was burnt.

Read what the court said in the judgment…
‘Actually, the accused had not prepared to commit the attack. When he saw that his wife had not cooked the food, he abused her and assaulted her. The weapon used in this case is a deadly weapon, like a wooden one. The husband was aware that this would cause injury to the wife. The intention of the accused was also to hurt the wife. However, the accused did not take undue advantage of the situation and did not behave in a cruel or extraordinary manner.
The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court held that the husband had not behaved in a cruel or extraordinary manner while hitting his wife.
The bench said – it cannot be called murder
The Bench said that what the husband had done would fall within Exception 4 of Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with murder as culpable homicide. Its basis is that the incident happened suddenly and there was no prior planning for it.
In its order, the bench quoted eminent psychiatrist Sidney Brandon’s book Violence in the Family- ‘Statistics show that it is safer to be with a stranger on the street after dark than to be with family at home, as accidents, murders and violence are more likely to happen at home.’
The court said that this case is also another example of such violence.
