Скачать или смотреть Insanity as a defence in indian criminal law M'Naghten Rule

In this in-depth video, we explore one of the most complex and debated aspects of criminal law—whether insanity can be used as a defence in Indian law, specifically under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. We delve into the legal framework provided by Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code, which mirrors the foundational principles of the M'Naghten Rule, a standard that has shaped insanity defence worldwide.

The video begins with a historical overview of the M'Naghten Rule, which originated from the landmark case of Daniel M'Naghten in 1843. We explain how the rule set out two crucial criteria for determining criminal insanity:

Cognitive Inability: The defendant must be proven to be suffering from a mental disorder that impaired their ability to understand the nature and quality of their actions.
Moral Understanding: The defendant must also be unable to recognize that their actions were wrong, even if they had a basic understanding of what they were doing.
We break down each element of the rule, examining how it emphasizes the defendant's mental state at the time of the offence and the importance of a defect of reason stemming from a disease of the mind. The video also discusses:

How the M'Naghten Rule influenced legal systems across the globe, including its impact on the formulation of Section 84 in Indian law.
The nuances and criticisms surrounding the rule, particularly in the context of modern forensic psychiatry and evolving legal standards.
Comparative insights into how insanity defences are argued in Indian courts versus other jurisdictions, highlighting landmark cases and ongoing debates within the legal community.
Whether you're a legal scholar, a law student, or simply intrigued by the intersection of mental health and criminal justice, this video offers an exhaustive look at how historical legal precedents continue to influence contemporary legal practices in India.
