INDIAN PENAL CODE
80: Accident In Doing A
Lawful Act::--Nothing is an
offence which is done by accident or misfortune, and without any criminal
intention or knowledge in the doing of a lawful act in a lawful manner by
lawful means and with proper care and caution.
Illustration
A is at work with a
hatchet; the head flies off and kills a man who is standing by. Here, if there
was no want of proper caution on the part of A, his act is excusable and not an
offence.
