Gurmail Singh vs State Of Punjab - Ss 299-304 IPC - Death Occurs After A Lapse Of Time

Indian Penal Code 1860 - Section 299,300,302, 304 - There cannot be any stereotypical assumption or formula that in all cases where death occurs after a lapse of time, the offence would be that of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. This court observed that every case has its own unique fact situation which needs to be considered- There can be no absolute proposition of law that in all cases where the deceased died due to septicemia, the offence would fall under Section 304 Part I of the IPC - Referred to Prasad Pradhan v. State of Chhattisgarh (2023) 11 SCC 320 and Khokhan v. State of Chhattisgarh (2021) 3 SCC 365.
