2. The degrees of Criminal intent and resultant Criminal liability are directly proportionate to each other, therefore, a person who causes death by rash or negligent act can be punished for imprisonment up to only two years whereas, the person who knowingly or intentionally commit it can be imprisoned for ten years / life term and even can be hanged. To the contra, a convict u/s. 304-A I.P.C. seldom gets benefit of probation whereas a similarly situated culprit of Section 304 part II I.P.C. may get it. Examine the justification behind it ?
