Summary
Culpable homicide and murder are distinct under Indian law. Culpable homicide (Section 299 IPC) involves intent to cause death or bodily harm likely to cause death, but not all are considered murder. Murder (Section 300 IPC) is culpable homicide with additional criteria like premeditation or extreme recklessness. Examples include a driver accidentally hitting a pedestrian (culpable homicide) and a planned killing (murder). Notable cases include K.M. Nanavati vs State of Maharashtra and Dr. Suresh Gupta vs Government of NCT of Delhi. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for legal clarity.Full Conversation
