Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

killing

The village of Harijans who had been denied minimum wages for considerable period had marched in a procession to the house of the landlord to demand justice.Some members of the procession were shouting abusive slogans and brandishing lathis to display their anger.The house of the landlord was well protected by high boundary wall and iron gate.On seeing the procession the guards closed the iron gate to keep away the approaching crowd.The Harijan leaders were having heated arguments with the watchmen for having blocked their access to the landlord by closing the iron gate and some of them were using force against the gate.Just then Raghuvendra,the youngest sons of the landlord,fired with his rifle two shots on the crowd and killed one person.

1)I am on the prosecution side.What allegations and under what sections we can put forward against Raghuvendra ?

2)Any citations of previous decided supreme court cases on these points?

Re: killing

You may want to put a case of "murder" by use of unwanted force as the deceased were unarmed and had come for a meeting only. You may want to search the case law in AIR / SCC Digest under the head of Sections 299 - 302 IPC.
