Explanation:

- The quoted statement relates to a principle distinguishing culpable homicide not amounting to murder and murder, especially in cases involving sudden provocation.

- The principle is that the fatal act must happen while the accused is still under the influence of passion or provocation—not after the passion has cooled.

- Ram Prasad Case dealt with issues of sudden provocation.

- K.M. Nanavati Case (often cited as K.M. Nan case) is a landmark case discussing 'grave and sudden provocation'; it specified that the fatal blow must be clearly linked to immediate provocation and not given after time had passed to cool down.

- Virsa Singh Case is primarily on the definition of murder under Section 300, IPC, and the nature of injury, not sudden provocation.

- Dhiragea Case is not famously known for this principle.

Correct Answer: Option 2 – K.M. Nanavati Case.
