ISSUE:
Whether the accused can be held guilty for the murder of Rajalakshmi?
RULE:
Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide. It is to be observed that the section does not require that the offender should intend to kill any particular person. It is enough if he causes the death of any one by doing an act with the intention of causing death to any one, whether the person intended to be killed or any one else.
