Reform Needed: Section 76 of the Indian Penal Code

Kya yeh theek hai? We're still stuck with a provision that basically lets the accused off the hook just because they were "unconscious" at the time of the crime. Section 76 IPC deals with the case of a person who, at the time of committing an offence, is unconscious or insane. Now, imagine a scenario where you're caught driving under the influence, and you claim you were drunk but not insane. This provision lets you off by saying you were "unconscious" due to the drink!

What's the logic here? This makes no sense in 2025! With all the advancements in forensic science, it's not that hard to determine whether someone was consciously or unconsciously intoxicated. This provision creates a loophole that's too big to ignore. Why not just reform it to reflect the realities of modern law enforcement and forensic analysis?
