Applying Section 87 to Offence Under Section 304A IPC

criminal clat_pg advanced pyq_discussion

Yaar, previous year ke question se sabhi jaante hain ki kai baar humein section ko connect karna padta hai, lekin kuch khaas cases mein lagta hai ki koi clear-cut guideline nahin hota, jaise kuch dino pehle CLAT PG mein ek question aaya tha jismein humko section 304A IPC ke case mein section 87 ka application karna tha. Question tha kya section 87 ka application possible hai section 304A IPC ke case mein jahan accused ko accidental death ka case apply hai, lekin ab kuch sharaabiton ke sath unki galti bhi pata chali hai... Kya hoga?

Wah bhai, let's break it down. Section 304A IPC talks about causing death by negligence, and Section 87 IPC is an exception for cases where there is an honest mistake without intention to cause harm. I think applying Section 87 here could work if the person genuinely made a mistake and didn't intend to kill or cause harm. But the courts will consider the facts of each case. Not straightforward, but possible.
