Qatl-i-Amd shall not be liable to qisas in the following cases, namely:-
(a) when an offender is a minor or insane: Provided that, where a person liable to qisas associates himself in the commission of the offence with a person not liable to qisas, with the intention of saving himself from qisas, he shall not be exempted from qisas;
(b) when an offender causes death of his child or grand-child, how low-so-ever; and
(c) when any wali of the victim is a direct descendant, how low-so-ever, of the offender.
Qisas is not applicable when the offender is a minor or insane, when the offender kills their own child/grandchild, or when the wali is a descendant of the offender.
