Supreme Court| No stereotypical assumption that where death occurs after a lapse of time, the offence is of culpable homicide
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction order passed by Chhattisgarh High Court, and further held that a lapse of time in death would not per se constitute a determinative factor as to diminish the offender’s liability from the offence of murder to that of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.
