Section 176 Contradicts Itself, Right?

jurisprudence clat_ug intermediate concept_confusion

Maine Section 176 ko padhne ki koshish ki hui aur yeh lag raha hai ki vah apne aap ko khud se contradiict karta hai. Section 176 of the Indian Easement Act, 1882 khaata hai ki jo manmukhti ke liye ek aathvin saal ke liye koi upkaran ka upyog kiya jata hai, vah upkaran usi vartikar ka maalik hai. Par, yeh Section 176 aathvin saal ke baad bhi manmukhti ke liye upkaran ka upyog karne par maalik ka haki darja kaise rakh sakta hai?

Ye meri samajh mein nahin aa raha hai.

Bhai, let's re-read Section 176 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It doesn't contradict itself. Section 176(1) says the Magistrate is to inquire into the cause of death, but Section 176(1)(iv) specifically excludes deaths that occur during police custody, which are investigated under Section 176(1)(ii). So, it's just a clarification, not a contradiction. Need to understand the context, not just the section itself.
