Anil and Prakash are playing hide and seek. Anil hides behind a bush. Amar, who is on a prowl to hunt for rabbits, observing some movement near the bush and assuming a rabbit was hiding there, fires and kills Anil. Amar does not know that Anil was hiding behind the bush. Is Amar liable for murder? 

Option: 1

Amar is not liable for murder, as he did not have the intention to kill Anil.


Option: 2

Amar is liable for murder. 


Option: 3

Amar would be liable for murder, because he should have taken care to find out the target before shooting.


Option: 4

Amar would not be liable for murder, because it would be too much to expect him to identify the target before shooting.


Answers (1)

It is very clear that intention of causing death is a must to hold a person guilty of murder. Here Amar killed Anil but he had not intention of doing so. Hence the correct option is A.
