Section 105 of BNS : Section 105: Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi and Suresh are neighbors who have had a long-standing feud over a property boundary. One day, during a heated argument, Ravi loses his temper and hits Suresh on the head with a heavy wooden stick. Ravi did not intend to kill Suresh, but he knew that hitting someone on the head with such force could cause serious injury or even death. Suresh later dies from the injury. In this case, Ravi could be charged under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Ravi's actions were done with the knowledge that they were likely to cause death, even though he did not have the intention to kill Suresh.

Example 2:

Priya is driving her car at a high speed in a residential area, despite knowing that it is dangerous and could potentially cause an accident. She loses control of the car and hits a pedestrian, who later dies from the injuries. Priya did not intend to kill the pedestrian, but she was aware that her reckless driving could lead to such an outcome. In this scenario, Priya could be charged under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Her actions were done with the knowledge that they were likely to cause death, even though there was no intention to cause death or serious bodily injury.
