Kya Hoga Yehi Jaanke? Section 84 ka Kya Faisla?

constitutional ts_lawcet intermediate hypothetical

If a 35-year-old man, who's suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, accidentally kills a 10-year-old child while in a dissociative state, will he be held liable for murder? Will the court accept his insanity defence under Section 84 of the IPC? Think about it - he's diagnosed with a chronic mental illness, which makes him unaware of the consequences of his actions. Can a court sentence him to life imprisonment for a crime he didn't fully comprehend? Is justice served here or is this a miscarriage of justice? What do you think?
