Q. The main distinction between culpable homicide (Section 299) and murder (Section 300) is:

गैर इरादतन हत्या (धारा 299) और हत्या (धारा 300) के बीच मुख्य अंतर है:

The weapon used
जिस हथियार का प्रयोग किया गया

The degree of intention or knowledge
इरादे या ज्ञान की डिग्री

The relationship between parties
पार्टियों के बीच संबंध

The place of occurrence
घटना का स्थान

Both culpable homicide and murder involve causing death with intention or knowledge, but murder (Section 300) requires:

More specific and direct intention to kill, or
Knowledge that the act is so imminently dangerous that it is likely to cause death.

Culpable homicide is a broader term with a lesser degree of intention or knowledge.
