Punishment for Section 299

Section 299 of the IPC relates to culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Punishment for such a crime is provided under Section 304 of the IPC.

1. If the act by which the death is caused is done by the accused with the intention of causing death, or of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, then:

Imprisonment for life or imprisonment of either description of a term extending up to 10 years and/or fine.

2. If the act is done with the knowledge that it is likely to cause death of the person, but without any intention to cause such death, or to cause such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, then:

Imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 10 years, or with fine, or with both
 

Punishment for Section 301

Section 301 of the IPC pertains to the act of committing culpable homicide by causing the death of a person other than the person whose death was actually intended. In such a case, the accused is punishable for murder under the doctrine of transfer of malice under Section 301. In the eyes of law, there is no distinction between cases where the death is caused to an intended person or whether it results in the death of an unintended person. Punishment for murder is prescribed under Section 302, as follows;
Death or Imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine.
