Question

A in the state of voluntary intoxication kills B. Prosecution fails to establish that A could form an intention of a sober man. A is guilty of:

A.

Murder.

B.

Culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

C.

Death by rash and negligent act.

D.

Grievous hurt

Correct option is B

Under Section 24 of the BNS, voluntary intoxication does not absolve a person from criminal liability. If the intention to commit murder cannot be established, the act may amount to culpable homicide not amounting to murder. In cases of voluntary intoxication, Even though the prosecution failed to establish that A could form the intent of a sober person, A is still presumed to have knowledge of their actions. This knowledge makes A guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder rather than murder or negligence.​
