Murder

Murder is one of the most serious crimes under Indian law. It means when someone is killed by another person intentionally or with full knowledge that their act could cause death.

🔹 What is Murder?

Murder is defined under Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). If someone kills another person on purpose or knowing it could cause death, it is called murder.

🔹 Punishment for Murder

Under Section 302 IPC, the punishment for murder can be:

• Life imprisonment, or

• Death penalty, and

• Fine (in some cases)

The punishment depends on how the crime happened and how serious it was.

🔹 When Killing is Not Called Murder

Sometimes, killing someone is not considered murder under law. For example:

• In self-defence

• Due to a sudden fight

• If there was no planning or bad intention

These situations are explained as exceptions under Section 300 IPC.
