Indian Penal Code, 1860, S.302, S.304 Part II -- Murder -- Injury Not Sufficient in Ordinary Course to Cause Death -- Where the prosecution fails to establish that the injury sustained was sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, but the evidence shows the accused had knowledge that his act was likely to cause death, the offence falls within culpable homicide not amounting to murder -- Conviction under Section 302 cannot be sustained in such circumstances and is to be altered to Section 304 Part II.
