The offence of ‘attempt to commit culpable homicide’ is punishable under which of the following Section of IPC ?

Section 304
Section 308
Section 310
Section 301

The correct answer is (b).

Section 308 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with the offence of attempt to commit culpable homicide. Culpable homicide is defined as causing death of a person, either intentionally or with the knowledge that death is likely to result from the act.

Attempt to commit culpable homicide is punishable with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, or with fine, or with both.

The other options are incorrect because they deal with different offences. Section 304 deals with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, Section 310 deals with causing death by negligence, and Section 301 deals with murder.
