Can you explain the meaning of culpable homicide with case law?

Culpable homicide refers to the act of causing death with intention or knowledge that such an act is likely to cause death, but without the premeditated intent characteristic of murder. For example, in the case of State of Maharashtra v. Manohar B. Koli (2010), the Supreme Court of India upheld a conviction for culpable homicide where the accused, while not intending to kill, had caused death during a brawl, demonstrating the distinction between culpable homicide and murder. The court emphasized the importance of the accused's mental state and the circumstances surrounding the act to determine culpability.
