First and foremost, it is reasonable to assume that the two crimes of culpable homicide and murder are neither mutually exhaustive nor exclusive, nor do they require that every incidence of killing be one of the two. Offence is determined by the degree of criminality, which is determined by the offender's knowledge and purpose. That knowledge and purpose might be of the type indicated once more. If it is the case, the question of whether the crime is murder or culpable homicide arises. Murder is defined as an aggravated form of culpable homicide under Section 299 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. According to this viewpoint, all murder must be responsible homicide, but not the other way around. However, an offense might include all of the components of murder but only be culpable homicide if it also has the extra mitigating characteristics listed in the exceptions. In certain situations, the severity of the crime fluctuates due to factors that reduce the core heinousness of the crime. Apart from that, an offense may nevertheless be considered culpable homicide in the first instance if it lacks the characteristics of murder. Though the two classes of offenses appear to be distinct when viewed with the naked eye, and the Indian judiciary has extensively dealt with the subject to explain the interconnection between the two, the key to understanding the interconnection and difference between the two lies in the fact that knowledge and intention must not be confused. The goal of this article is to identify the elements that lead to a lack of clarity in the judiciary, culminating in a reversal of decision.
