💨 Abstract

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has reduced a 100-year-old man's life sentence for a 2004 murder conviction to five years in jail. The court considered Jage Ram's advanced age and the circumstances surrounding the case while modifying the conviction under Section 304 (Part II) of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
