Culpable homicide and murder : India (2019)
When Rakesh tried to run, he was killed. Death was due to ante mortem injuries according to the Post mortem report due to shock and haemorrage.
In State of UP v Faquirey (Cr. A. 1842/2012 - Supreme Court's Judgment dated 11th February 2019), it was seen that According to Exception I to Section 300 IPC, culpable
homicide is not murder if the offender causes the death of
the person who gave the provocation, whilst deprived of the
power of self-control by grave and sudden provocation. It
would be relevant to refer to the First Proviso to Exception I
which provides that the provocation should be one which is
not sought or voluntarily provoked by the offender as an
excuse for killing or doing harm to any person. (para 7)
Voluntary provocation
cannot come to the rescue of the Respondent to claim that
he is not liable to be convicted under S. 302 IPC. (para 7)
