MOOT PROBLEM
Abhay Raichand was a rich businessman of the city Riverdale. He
was an extremely arrogant and short- tempered by nature and
was in the quarreling with everyone on petty issues also. The
deceased, Rupam Singh was an athlete by profession and Abhay
Raichand's immediate neighbor. Both Abhay Raichand and
Rupan Singh were never on friendly terms with one another. On
one occasion, the deceased, Rupan Singh had kept a function in
his house. However, Abhay Raichand was not invited in the
function due to the nature of Abhay Raichand because of which
his ego was hurt. On that day when the deceased, Rupam Singh
was parking his car in front of the gate of the house of Abhay Raichand, the deceased,
Rupam Singh was sternly warned by Abhay Raichand not to park the car on that place as
being already irritated by the deceased, Rupam Singh. The deceased Rupam Singh refused
to remove the car replying that it was not Abhay Raichand's personal property and that the
car will be removed after the function and departure of guests. Abhay Raichand lost his
balance of mind and slapped Rupam Singh. Both started quarreling and grapped each
other, in the course Abhay Raichand gave a fist blow on the stomach of deceased, Rupam
Singh and consequently appendicitis of the deceased, Rupam Singh busted and the
deceased fell down in severe pain in stomach. Abhay Raichand immediately threw the
deceased in the car of deceased itself and drove the car towards the nearest hospital. At the
same time since a large number of cars were parked in the street, Abhay Raichand had to
face difficulty to take the car out of the street and a lot of time was wasted. The deceased,
Rupam Singh could not be saved and doctors gave a statement that if the deceased, Rupam
Singh had been brought ten minutes early, the deceased, Rupam Singh could have been
saved. Besides the medical report also mentioned that one tooth of the deceased, Rupam
Singh was also found to be broken.
Abhay Raichand was charged with the offence of murder under Section 302 of Indian Penal
Code. The Trial Court convicted Abhay Raichand only under Section 326 of Indian Penal
Code for causing grievous hurt.

ISSUES
1) WHETHER THE ACCUSED, ABHAY RAICHAND HAS COMMITTED MURDER UNDER
SECTION 302 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE?

2) WHET HER THE ACCUSED IS ENTITLED TO ANY EXCEPTIONS OR NOT?

3) WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT WAS RIGHT IN CONVICTING THE ACCUSED UNDER
SECTION 326 OF I.P.C?
