Explanation:

ection 301 embOdies the principle of transfer of malice. If a person, by doing anything which he intends or knows to be likely to cause death, commits culpable homicide by causing the death of any person, Whose death, he neither intends nor knows himself to be likely to cause, the culpable homicide committed by the offender is of the description of which it would.have been if he had caused the death of the person whose death he intended or knew himself to be likely to cause. if the accused shoots at a particular . person with the intention of killing him, though under Ia misapprehension of his identity, the ingredients of section 299 and 300 of IPC, are satisfied. Similarly, there will be no difference when the injury intended for one falls on another by accident if A makes a thrust at B, meaning to kill, and C throws himself between, receives the thrust and dies. A will be liable for killing C as though intended to kill . .( fShankarlal Kachrabhai V. State of Gujarat All? 1965 SC 12601
