Section 299 and Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) both deal with the offense of murder, but there is a significant difference between the two sections.
Section 299 of the IPC defines the offense of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. It states that whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that such act is likely to cause death, commits culpable homicide not amounting to murder. This means that if a person causes the death of another person, but does not have the intention to cause the death, they can still be charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 299.
On the other hand, Section 300 of the IPC defines the offense of murder. It states that whoever causes the death of another person with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that the act is likely to cause death, commits murder. The key difference between Section 299 and Section 300 is the presence of the "intention to cause death" in the definition of murder. If a person causes the death of another person with the intention to cause death, they can be charged with murder under Section 300.
In other words, the main difference between Section 299 and Section 300 is the level of intention to cause death. If the intention to cause death is present, it is considered murder under Section 300. If the intention to cause death is not present, it is considered culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 299.
