Dude its the responsible of the engg the buildings they construct..They are clearly responsible for the collapse of the building..if you construct a house and second day it will fall who will you blame??the engg who build it or yourself who give him the contract?
Read my above post and tell me the questions:
Section 299. Culpable homicide says:
Who ever 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 he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide.
First forget everything, just answer from your common sense.
1. Do you believe those three Chinese engineers had the intention of causing death or bodily injury while building the chimney?
2. Can any professional engineer think of having such intention which might bring serious charges against him and bring a bad reputation to the company concerned?
3. How can you be so sure that they had the knowledge that they are likely by such act to cause death?
4. Even if you believe they are responsible, how can you say their act was a deliberate one, since culpable homicide says the person involved must have the intention or knowledge?
5. If you still believe that they had the intention or knowledge before working on the project, then you are saying that their intention was not to build the chimney but to cause death. And if it be so, then you are labeling very serious charges against them, you are saying they have gone to India just to cause death, not to build anything. Consequently one can then claim the concerned company itself had the plan to cause death, and subsequently, since the company is from China, one can go further by claiming that, China has the intention to cause death.
Can you imagine, how much serious the issue might become?
And if you cannot not believe, then it was just an accident. And accident is accident where none should be held responsible.
I do not know the modus operandi as I am not dealing with the case, but from the news reports it is clear that there should be an investigation to discover the real causes of the collapse. There could be a conspiracy, there could be negligence on part of the laborers, there could be some unfortunate happenings.
Crime and criminology is not that simple dude, there are many dimensions.
