Introduction

The IPC (Indian penal code) talks about the offenses. In all such criteria whether it is rape, culpable homicide, or murder. But all the offenses are considered. No. In the IPC there is a specific portion that talks about where the offenses done by the kid is not under 16 are not offenses. This is the logic which is been applied in the case that is Ripon v Simons. 

Facts of the case 

In this case, what happened was that a boy who was the age of seventeen years planned to commit capital murder. He was sentenced to death.

Issues of this case 

Whether there is a violation of the fundamental right of an Individual who was gone for a death sentence?

Analysis of case 

In this case, it talks about the murder which was been preplanned and been conducted. In this case, even though the crime had happened proven by the court later the judgment when it got reversed stating that the death penalty is allowed in the case and he should be sentenced but the court. Stated that he would liable for why the court did not see the factor of the offenses he did in terms of the IPC where the age factor is not appropriate for the offenses he did. 

The majority of the age of the Indian contract act talks about where the contract is void unless he attains the majority of the 22 years. Same when we compare the concept don’t go to the concept of Indian contract just I was making to understand while coming to this concept the Ipc section that is relating to the section it talks about where the nothing is an offense when we talk about the when the crime is committed under the age above 18 years. Because of the age factor. The maturity level to understand the act what he has done and the act what he has done is not a kind that adults understand.

In the concept of the adult, the understanding of the age and what is the circumstances he had done is very minimal in comparison to the small. There was the famous case where it was held in the other aspect the policeman died due to the attack of man. Why? Because he has committed under the age of 15, As you all know the carrying the gun is allowed in the forging countries for private defenses as the policeman thought that it was the toys police gun allowed him to shoot thinking that it was toy gun and died by the shot.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
