ORIGINAL JURISDICTION:
Court of Session

BRIEF:
Culpable Homicide is the Genus, and murder is the species.
Culpable Homicide simply means the killing of a human body. IPC differentiates between the two kinds of Culpable Homicide as follows:

1. Culpable Homicide Amounting to Murder : A.K.A. Murder
2. Culpable Homicide Not Amounting to Murder

The technical difference between the two can be understood through the below given chart:

S. No.	Culpable Homicide	Murder
1.	It has been given under Section 299 of IPC	It has been given under Section 300 of IPC
2.	This is the genus	This is the species
3.	There is some intention involved	There is strong intention involved to cause death
4.	It is a less serious degree of murder	It is more serious degree of murder (it is basically an aggravated form of Culpable Homicide)
5.	Every Culpable Homicide is not murder	Every Murder is primarily a Culpable Homicide
6.	There is a probability of death	There is much higher possibility of death
7.	There is likelihood of death	There is certainty of death

IPC does not only punish Murder and Culpable  Homicide not amounting to Murder, it also lays down punishment for the mere attempt of them and even states attempt to suicide as a penal offence.
