INDIAN PENAL CODE
39: “Voluntarily”::--A person is said to cause an effect “voluntarily” when he
causes it by means whereby he intended to cause it , or by means which, at the
time of employing those means, he knew or had reason to believe to be likely to
cause it.
Illustration
A sets fire, by
night to an inhabited house in a large to town , for the purpose of facilitating
a robbery and thus causes the death of a person. Here, A may not have intended
to cause death, and may even be sorry that death has been caused by his act;
yet, if he knew that he has caused death, he has caused death, voluntarily.
