If many people involved in IPC 304A murder
Case. Then what will be results
Reply by LawRato
The multiple persons accused in a case under Section 304A can be proceeded against by way of Section 34 of the IPC, as per which, for acts done by several persons in furtherance of a common intention, each of such persons is liable for that act in the same manner as if it were done by him alone. Thus, each person will be accused of causing death by negligence.
