Indian Penal Code, 1860—Section 84

Indian Penal Code, 1860—Section 84— Every person who is suffering from mental disease is not ipso facto exempted from criminal liability—The mere fact that the accused is conceited, odd, irascible and his brain is not quite all right, or that the physical and mental ailments from which he suffered had rendered his intellect weak and affected his emotions or indulges in certain unusual acts, or had fits of insanity at short intervals or that he was subject to epileptic fits and there was abnormal behaviour or the behaviour is queer are not sufficient to attract the application of Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code.
