Correct option is B
'X' is guilty of murder. Under Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code, murder is defined as causing death with the intention of causing death or with the knowledge that the act is so imminently dangerous that it must, in all probability, cause death. 'X's actions meet the criteria for murder because he acted with reckless disregard for human life, fully aware of the likely consequences.
Information Booster:
The distinction between culpable homicide not amounting to murder and murder hinges on the intent and knowledge of the probable consequences. In this case, 'X' was aware of the likely fatal outcome, making it murder.
Additional Knowledge:
· Culpable homicide not amounting to murder: Involves intent to cause harm but not necessarily death.
· Grievous hurt: Involves serious injury but not death.
· Negligence: Would apply if 'X' was unaware of the potential consequences or was merely careless, not reckless.
