The Court upheld the learned Judicial Commissioner’s findings that although insults were continuous and grave, they were not sudden; the appellant had premeditated by bringing a knife and seeking the deceased, acted in a cruel manner (continued attack after victim fell), and failed to properly put sudden fight to prosecution witnesses; therefore defences of grave and sudden provocation and sudden fight fail and the conviction for murder under Section 300/302 is sustained.
