<h1>Section 18: Accidental Acts Without Criminal Intent Not Offenses if Lawful and Done with Care and Caution.</h1> Section 18 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, states that an act is not considered an offense if it occurs accidentally or due to misfortune, provided it is done without criminal intent or knowledge. The act must be lawful, performed in a lawful manner, using lawful means, and with appropriate care and caution. An illustration is given where a person working with a hatchet accidentally causes harm due to the tool malfunctioning; if the person exercised proper caution, the act is excusable and not deemed an offense.
