Murder -- Conduct of Accused-- Fleeing Scene After Accidental Drowning of Friend -- Post-incident conduct of fleeing spot alone insufficient to establish murder
Indian Penal Code, 1860, S.302 -- Murder -- Fleeing Scene After Accidental Drowning of Friend -- Conduct of fleeing from the spot and failing to inform the family of the deceased, though reprehensible, cannot by itself be treated as an incriminating circumstance to establish murder where such conduct is probable human behaviour even in a case of accidental death, and where medical evidence does not establish homicidal death.
