‘K’ inflicted as many as 20 injuries on the body of ‘M’  with a gandassa (an instrument used in villages for cutting fodder for animals) wreaking vengeance for the enmity between their families. None of the injuries was singly fatal in itself, but as a cumulative result of multiple fractures and the loss of blood, death of ‘M’ ensued. Critically examine the offence committed by ‘K’ under the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code.      (10 marks)
