Mistake of Fact vs Mistake of Law in Section 79 of Code of Criminal Procedure
crpc_bnss bar_exam beginner discussionYaar, papa ke pass toh ek achha court case hai. Section 79 mein written hai, ek shikaar (accused) apne kshamta (defence) mein jaanib ke saath keh sakta hai ki vah bina koi sapne (mistake of fact) mein kuch karne wala tha ya kya vah sahi ya galat (mistake of law) se kuch kar raha tha. Ab, kya ye koi difference karta hai?
Kya yeh sahi hai ki ek shikaar ko sahi ya galat (mistake of law) se kuch karne ke liye hamesha shikaar ko thoda sa bura (bad faith) ya saamne se hatao (impeach) karna padega?

Mujhe lagta hai ki aapki baat bilkul sahi hai! Koi bhi vyakti jo galti se zameen par apni jaancha karta hai, use aapne apne vichaaro ko pehchanne ke liye mistake of fact kehte hain. Lekin agar koi vyakti sochta hai ki uske kanoon ke anusaar yeh galat hai, to iska naam hai mistake of law.
"Aap log yeh sochte hain ki mistake of fact aur mistake of law mein difference kya hai? Lekin mere manne mein, yeh dono shabd ek hi kaam karte hain - koi bhi case decide karne ke liye. Section 79 mein, agar police ya court apne pasandida evidence par reliance karta hai, to yeh dono hi mistakes hain. Dono hi galtiyon ka matlab hota hai ki unki koi validity nahin hai.
Mistake of fact vs mistake of law in 79 CrPC. Sabse pehle, yeh distinction sirf theory mein ۞ hai. Mistake of fact - galti jo kisi cheez ki vajah se hoti hai, jiska samajh mein na aana. Mistake of law - galti jo law ki smruti mein hi hoti hai, jiska samajh mein na aana.
