[#1800] X inflicted as many as 19 injuries on the arms and legs of Y with a gandasa, resulting in multiple fractures on arms and legs and also profuse bleedings. The injuries cumulatively caused the death of Y. X is tried for the offence of murder under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Determine the criminal liability of X from the alternatives given below:

(A) Since X inflicted injuries only on nonvital parts of the body, hence he could not be attributed with intention to kill and therefore, cannot be held guilty of the offence of murder but only of culpable homicide not amounting to murder

(B) Even though the accused did not have the intention to cause death but, nonetheless, he had intention to cause the injuries on the body of Y and the injuries so caused were thereby cumulatively sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature and so his case falls under Section 300

(C) Since injuries were only on non-vital parts of the body, and there was no intention to cause death, the accused is liable only to be punished for the offence of voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapon

(D) The liability of X can at best be causing death by rash act not amounting to culpable homicide

Correct Answer

(A) Since X inflicted injuries only on nonvital parts of the body, hence he could not be attributed with intention to kill and therefore, cannot be held guilty of the offence of murder but only of culpable homicide not amounting to murder
