Dhara 302 IPC hatya (murder) ka section tha. Naye kanoon Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 mein yahi provision ab Dhara 103 hai. Saza hai maut ki saza ya aajeevan karavas (life imprisonment), saath mein jurmana. Yeh apradh sangyeya (cognizable), gair-jamanati (non-bailable) hai aur iski sunwai Sessions Court mein hoti hai.

Dhara 302 kya thi, aur ab kya hai
Indian Penal Code, 1860 ki Dhara 302 hatya ki saza batati thi. Hatya ki paribhasha alag se Dhara 300 mein di gayi thi — yaani kaun sa kaam “murder” mana jayega, yeh 300 batati thi, aur uski saza 302 mein thi.
Ab IPC ki jagah Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 aa gaya hai. Isme vyavastha wahi hai, bas number badal gaye hain:
| Vishay | Purana (IPC) | Naya (BNS) |
|---|---|---|
| Hatya ki paribhasha | Dhara 300 | Dhara 101 |
| Hatya ki saza | Dhara 302 | Dhara 103 |
| Culpable homicide jo hatya nahi | Dhara 304 | Dhara 105 |
| Laparwahi se maut | Dhara 304A | Dhara 106 |
Jo ghatna 1 July 2024 (jab naya kanoon lagu hua) se pehle hui, uspar purana section lagta hai. Isliye aaj bhi adalaton mein 302 aur 103 dono dikhte hain. Purane faisle (judgments) bhi abhi tak kaam ke hain, kyunki provision ka matlab badla nahi, sirf number badla hai.
Saza kya hai
Hatya ke liye saza hai maut ki saza ya aajeevan karavas, aur saath mein jurmana. Isse kam koi saza is dhara mein nahi hai — yaani agar adalat hatya saabit mane, to inhi do mein se ek saza milegi.
Maut ki saza ke baare mein Supreme Court ne barson se ek sidhant banaya hai: yeh sirf “rarest of rare” mamlon mein di jati hai. Aam niyam aajeevan karavas hai, aur maut ki saza apvad. Adalat ko batana padta hai ki is mamle mein aajeevan karavas kyun kaafi nahi hai.
Aajeevan karavas ka matlab poori zindagi ki kaid hai, na ki 14 ya 20 saal — yeh galat-fehmi bahut aam hai. Samay se pehle rihaai sarkar ki remission shakti par nirbhar karti hai, aur kuch gambhir mamlon mein High Court ya Supreme Court yeh bhi tay kar sakte hain ki ek nishchit avadhi tak remission nahi milegi.
Agar paanch ya usse zyada logon ke samooh ne jaati, dharm, ling, janm-sthaan, bhasha ya aise kisi aadhar par hatya ki ho (mob lynching), to Dhara 103(2) BNS ke tahat bhi saza maut ya aajeevan karavas hai.
302 aur 304 ka farak — sabse zaroori baat
Har maut hatya nahi hoti. Kanoon teen shreniyan alag karta hai, aur farak niyat (intention) aur paristhiti par hai:
| Shreni | Naya section | Kab lagta hai |
|---|---|---|
| Hatya | Dhara 103 BNS | Maarne ki niyat thi, ya aisi chot pahunchayi jo saadharan taur par maut ke liye kaafi hai |
| Culpable homicide jo hatya nahi | Dhara 105 BNS | Achanak jhagda bina soche-samjhe, gusse mein, aatm-raksha ki seema paar karna, ya maut ki sirf jaankari thi par hatya ki shartein poori nahi hoti |
| Laparwahi se maut | Dhara 106 BNS | Koi niyat nahi, par laparwahi ya jaldbaazi se maut ho gayi |
Do log sadak par jhagad padte hain. Ek achanak gusse mein dhakka deta hai, doosra girkar sir par chot khata hai aur uski maut ho jati hai. Yahan pehle se maarne ki koi yojana nahi thi, jhagda achanak hua — is tarah ke mamle aam taur par Dhara 105 ke daayre mein aate hain, 103 ke nahi. Lekin yeh faisla adalat tathya dekhkar karti hai, aur har mamla alag hota hai.
Adalat ko tathyon aur saboot ke aadhar par yahi tay karna hota hai ki mamla hatya ka hai ya Dhara 105 ka — aur isi par saza mein bahut bada antar aata hai.
Dhara 307 kya hai, aur 302 se kaise alag hai
302 ke saath sabse zyada search hone wali dhara 307 hai, aur dono ka rishta samajhna zaroori hai.
Dhara 307 IPC — ab Dhara 109 BNS — hatya ke prayaas (attempt to murder) ke liye hai. Yaani wo kaam jo hatya ki niyat se kiya gaya, lekin maut nahi hui.
| Hatya | Hatya ka prayaas | |
|---|---|---|
| Purana section | Dhara 302 IPC | Dhara 307 IPC |
| Naya section | Dhara 103 BNS | Dhara 109 BNS |
| Maut hui? | Haan | Nahi |
| Niyat | Maarne ki niyat ya aisi chot jo maut ke liye kaafi ho | Maarne ki niyat, par kaam poora nahi hua |
| Saza | Maut ki saza ya aajeevan karavas | 10 saal tak kaid aur jurmana; chot lagi ho to aajeevan karavas tak |
| Jamanat | Gair-jamanati | Gair-jamanati |
| Court | Sessions Court | Sessions Court |
307 kab lagti hai
Do cheezein saabit karni hoti hain: ek, ki kaam aisa tha jo maut ka kaaran ban sakta tha; aur do, ki niyat ya jaankari aisi thi ki agar maut ho jati to wo hatya hoti. Sirf chot lag jana kaafi nahi hai — niyat dekhi jati hai. Isiliye kai mamlon mein 307 ki jagah saadharan chot ki dhara lagti hai, aur kai mein ulta.
307 mein chot lagna zaroori nahi hai. Agar niyat aur kaam dono maujood hain, to chot na lagne par bhi dhara lag sakti hai. Yeh aksar galat samjha jata hai.
302 dhara ki saza: aajeevan karavas ka asli matlab
Do sazayein hain — maut ki saza ya aajeevan karavas, aur saath mein jurmana. Isse kam kuch nahi.
Aajeevan karavas kitne saal ka hota hai?
Yeh sabse badi galat-fehmi hai. Log maante hain ki aajeevan karavas 14 saal ya 20 saal ka hota hai. Aisa nahi hai. Supreme Court ne baar-baar kaha hai ki aajeevan karavas ka matlab hai poori prakritik zindagi tak ki kaid.
Phir 14 saal ki baat kahan se aati hai? Wo remission se aati hai — rajya sarkar ki wo shakti jiske tahat wo saza kam kar sakti hai. Niyamon ke tahat kuch mamlon mein 14 saal ki kaid poori hone ke baad remission par vichaar ho sakta hai. Par:
- Remission adhikar nahi hai — yeh sarkar ke vivek par hai
- Har mamle mein milti bhi nahi
- Kuch gambhir mamlon mein High Court ya Supreme Court yeh bhi tay kar sakte hain ki ek nishchit avadhi (jaise 20, 25 ya 30 saal) tak remission nahi milegi — Sessions Court aisa nahi kar sakti
Maut ki saza — “rarest of rare”
Supreme Court ne Bachan Singh ke mamle mein yeh sidhant banaya tha: maut ki saza sirf un mamlon mein jo “rarest of rare” hain. Aam niyam aajeevan karavas hai. Adalat ko likhit roop mein batana padta hai ki is mamle mein aajeevan karavas kyun kaafi nahi hai, aur apradhi ke paksh mein kaun si baatein thi aur kaun si nahi — dono par vichaar karna zaroori hai.
Hatya ki paribhasha: kab culpable homicide hatya ban jata hai
Yeh kanoon ka sabse technical hissa hai, par ise samajhna zaroori hai kyunki saza mein zameen-aasmaan ka antar isi par hai.
Pehle culpable homicide hota hai — kisi ke kaam se maut hona. Phir kanoon batata hai ki culpable homicide kab hatya ban jata hai. Chaar paristhitiyan hain:
- Maarne ki niyat se kiya gaya kaam Seedha irada tha ki maut ho jaye.
- Aisi chot pahunchane ki niyat jo maut ka kaaran ban sakti hai Maarne ka irada nahi tha, par jo chot pahunchane ka irada tha wo aisi thi jisse maut ho sakti thi, aur apradhi ko yeh pata tha.
- Aisi chot jo saadharan taur par maut ke liye kaafi hai Chot pahunchane ka irada tha, aur wo chot apne aap mein itni gambhir thi ki aam taur par maut ho hi jati.
- Itna khatarnaak kaam ki maut lagbhag nishchit thi Koi khaas niyat nahi, par apradhi jaanta tha ki kaam itna khatarnaak hai ki maut, ya maut laane laayak chot, lagbhag nishchit hai — aur phir bhi bina kisi uchit kaaran ke kiya gaya.
Apvad — jab hatya nahi banti
Kanoon paanch apvad deta hai jinke hone par culpable homicide hatya nahi banta, aur tab saza Dhara 105 BNS ke tahat lagti hai:
- Achanak aur gambhir uksava — jisse aatm-niyantran khatm ho gaya ho
- Aatm-raksha ki seema paar karna — bachav ka adhikaar tha, par seema se aage chale gaye
- Lok sevak (public servant) — jo achchhi niyat se apni kanooni shakti se aage chala gaya
- Achanak jhagda — bina pehle se yojana ke, gusse ki garmi mein, aur bina kisi anuchit faayda uthaye
- Peedit ki sahmati — 18 saal se upar ke vyakti ne apni marzi se maut ka jokhim liya ho
Kai mukadmon mein mukhya sawaal yahi hota hai ki mamla in apvadon mein se kisi ek mein aata hai ya nahi. Abhiyojan (prosecution) ko niyat aur paristhiti saabit karni hoti hai, aur adalat saboot dekhkar tay karti hai. Hatya mein saza maut ya aajeevan karavas hai; Dhara 105 mein aajeevan karavas, 5 se 10 saal ki kaid, ya kuch mamlon mein 10 saal tak ki kaid.
Giraftari ke baad kya hota hai
Agar aap ya aapka koi apna is tarah ke mamle mein hai, to yeh jaanna zaroori hai ki kanoon kya suraksha deta hai.
| 24 ghante ka niyam | Giraftari ke 24 ghante ke andar magistrate ke samne pesh karna zaroori hai (yatra ka samay chhodkar) |
| Kaaran batana | Giraftari ka aadhar bataya jana chahiye |
| Kisi ko soochit karna | Pariwar ya mitra ko giraftari ki soochna dene ka adhikar |
| Vakil se milna | Poochhtaachh ke dauraan apne vakil se milne ka adhikar (poori poochhtaachh ke dauraan saath rehne ka nahi) |
| Muft kanooni sahayata | Hiraasat (custody) mein band har vyakti ko District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) se muft vakil ka adhikar hai, aamdani chahe jo ho |
| Medical jaanch | Giraftari ke samay medical jaanch ka adhikar |
Muft kanooni sahayata kaise milti hai
Har zile mein District Legal Services Authority hoti hai jo muft vakil deti hai. Yeh samvidhan ke Anuchhed 21 aur 39A aur Legal Services Authorities Act se aata hai — paise ki kami kisi ko nyay se vanchit nahi kar sakti. Jail mein band vyakti ke liye jail ke zariye arzi di ja sakti hai, aur Sessions Court mein agar abhiyukt ka koi vakil nahi hai to court sarkari kharch par vakil deti hai.
Yeh page sirf jaankari ke liye hai. Hatya jaise mamle mein har tathya, har gawah, har report mayne rakhti hai. Internet par padhkar koi faisla mat lijiye — turant kisi vakil se miliye. Agar paise ki dikkat hai, to District Legal Services Authority se muft vakil milta hai.
Mukadma kaise chalta hai
- FIR darj hoti hai Sangyeya apradh hone ke kaaran police turant FIR darj karti hai aur jaanch shuru karti hai. Magistrate ke aadesh ki zaroorat nahi hoti.
- Giraftari aur remand Police bina warrant giraftar kar sakti hai. Giraftari ke 24 ghante ke andar abhiyukt ko magistrate ke samne pesh karna zaroori hai.
- Jamanat ki arzi Gair-jamanati apradh hone ke kaaran jamanat adhikar nahi hai. Itne gambhir mamle mein jamanat aam taur par Sessions Court ya High Court se mangi jati hai.
- Jaanch aur charge sheet Post-mortem report, gawahon ke bayan, forensic report aur anya saboot ikattha hote hain. Jaanch ke baad police charge sheet dakhil karti hai.
- Sessions Court ko supurdagi Magistrate mamla Sessions Court ko supurd karta hai, kyunki is apradh ki sunwai wahi karti hai.
- Aarop tay hona aur sunwai Sessions Court aarop tay karti hai, phir gawahi aur bahas hoti hai. Faisle ke khilaf appeal High Court mein hoti hai.
Yeh page sirf jaankari ke liye hai, kanooni salah nahi. Hatya ke mamle mein har tathya mayne rakhta hai — niyat, paristhiti, saboot, gawah. Agar aap kisi aise mamle se jude hain, to bina deri kiye kisi vakil se milna hi sahi kadam hai.

Frequently asked questions
Dhara 302 ab kaun si dhara ban gayi hai?
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 mein hatya ka provision ab Dhara 103 hai. Jo ghatna 1 July 2024 (naya kanoon lagu hone) se pehle hui, uspar IPC ki Dhara 302 ke tahat hi mukadma chalta hai. Jo baad mein hui, uspar Dhara 103 BNS.
Dhara 302 mein jamanat milti hai?
Yeh gair-jamanati apradh hai, matlab jamanat adhikar ke roop mein nahi milti — court ke vivek par nirbhar karti hai. Itne gambhir apradh mein jamanat Sessions Court ya High Court se mangi jati hai, aur court mamle ke tathya dekhkar faisla karti hai.
302 aur 304 mein kya farak hai?
Dhara 302 (ab 103 BNS) hatya ke liye hai. Dhara 304 (ab 105 BNS) us culpable homicide ke liye hai jo hatya ki shreni mein nahi aata. Farak niyat aur paristhiti ka hai — jaise achanak jhagde mein bina soche-samjhe kiya gaya kaam, ya aatm-raksha ki seema paar karna. Saza aam taur par kam hoti hai, lekin Dhara 105 mein bhi aajeevan karavas ho sakta hai.
Kya police bina warrant giraftar kar sakti hai?
Haan. Yeh sangyeya apradh hai, isliye police bina warrant giraftari kar sakti hai aur bina magistrate ke aadesh ke jaanch shuru kar sakti hai.
Is mamle mein samjhauta ho sakta hai?
Nahi. Yeh non-compoundable apradh hai. Pakshon ke beech samjhaute se mamla khatm nahi hota, kyunki yeh rajya aur abhiyukt ke beech ka mamla ban jata hai.
Mukadma kaun si court mein chalta hai?
Sessions Court mein. Magistrate mamle ko Sessions Court ko supurd karta hai, aur wahin sunwai hoti hai.
Dhara 307 kya hai aur 302 se kaise alag hai?
Dhara 307 IPC — ab Dhara 109 BNS — hatya ke prayaas ke liye hai, yaani maarne ki niyat se kiya gaya kaam jisme maut nahi hui. Saza 10 saal tak kaid aur jurmana hai, aur chot lagi ho to aajeevan karavas tak. Dhara 302 (ab 103 BNS) tab lagti hai jab maut ho jaye.
Aajeevan karavas kitne saal ka hota hai?
Poori prakritik zindagi tak ka. 14 saal ya 20 saal wali baat remission se aati hai — rajya sarkar ki wo shakti jisse saza kam ho sakti hai. Remission adhikar nahi hai, har mamle mein nahi milti, aur kuch mamlon mein High Court ya Supreme Court yeh bhi tay kar sakte hain ki ek nishchit avadhi tak remission nahi milegi.
302 dhara ki saza kya hai?
Maut ki saza ya aajeevan karavas, aur saath mein jurmana. Isse kam koi saza is dhara mein nahi hai. Maut ki saza sirf “rarest of rare” mamlon mein di jati hai — aam niyam aajeevan karavas hai.
Dhara 307 kab lagti hai?
Jab do cheezein maujood hon: ek, kaam aisa tha jo maut ka kaaran ban sakta tha; aur do, niyat ya jaankari aisi thi ki maut hone par wo hatya hoti. Chot lagna zaroori nahi hai — agar niyat aur kaam dono maujood hain to bina chot ke bhi dhara lag sakti hai.
Agar vakil ka kharch na utha sakein to kya karein?
Har zile mein District Legal Services Authority hoti hai jo muft vakil deti hai — hiraasat mein band vyakti ko yeh aamdani dekhe bina milta hai. Yeh samvidhan ke Anuchhed 21 aur 39A se aata hai. Jail mein band vyakti ke liye jail ke zariye bhi arzi di ja sakti hai.
