Question 1

How do I check if a PPC offence is bailable or non-bailable in Pakistan?

Accepted Answer

Use the Legalise PPC Quick Reference to look up any section of the Pakistan Penal Code. Each entry shows the offence description, punishment, and whether it is bailable or non-bailable, cognizable or non-cognizable, and compoundable or non-compoundable.

Question 2

What is the punishment for Section 302 PPC in Pakistan?

Accepted Answer

Section 302 PPC (Qatl-i-Amd / murder) is punishable with death as Qisas, or imprisonment for life as Ta'zir, or Diyat. It is a non-bailable, cognizable, and non-compoundable offence under the Pakistan Penal Code.

Question 3

What is the difference between Section 302 and 322 PPC?

Accepted Answer

Section 302 PPC covers Qatl-i-Amd (intentional murder), while Section 322 PPC covers Qatl-bis-Sabab (causing death by doing an act not intended to cause death but done carelessly). Section 322 carries Diyat and imprisonment, not the death penalty.
