Indian Penal Code

IPC 302. Whoever commits murder shall be punished with death, or 104[imprisonment for life], and shall also be liable to fine.

IPC 307: Whoever does any act with such intention or knowledge, and under such circumstances that, if he by that act caused death, he would be guilty or murder, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine; and if hurt is caused to any person by such act, the offender shall be liable either to 104[imprisonment for life], or to such punishment as is here in before mentioned.


Now if you kill someone you will be hanged.
If you try to kill someone and fail, you get ten years.

If you are failed murderer, there are two ways to look at it.
1. When it comes to murder, the court of law rewards you for incompetence.
2. A successful murderer has accomplished his/her purpose in life but you, a loser that you are, deserve another chance at life (or death)

Here's Scott Adams on the topic

I wish I could meet the chap who wrote IPC 307. Would love to teach him a few things about sentence construction.
