The Indian Supreme Court has ruled that anyone who inflicts fatal injuries to the testicles should face first-degree murder charges.
The ruling was handed down in a case in which a man had kneed another in the testicles, killing him instantly.
The attacker had been convicted in a lower court on the lesser charge of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.
The Supreme Court said that if a person, with an intention to kill, fatally injured another in "the private parts", the accused would be charged with murder.
'Self defence'
Those convicted would then face either a life term or the death sentence.
The Supreme Court's ruling is unlikely to set a precedent
"The evidence of the doctor clearly shows that death was caused due to neurogenic shock resulting from injury to testicles and scrotum," a two-judge bench said.
"This is a case where the conviction should have been under Section 302 (first-degree murder)."
The ruling was made in response to a petition from Karnataka state in southern India appealing against the order by the lower court.
The lower court had sentenced the accused on lesser charges that carry a maximum prison term of seven years with parole facilities.
The accused was said to have kneed the man in self defence.
Legal experts say the ruling is unlikely to set a precedent given the extraordinary circumstances of the case.
ladies. please pay attention

i knew it! that's what death feals like, getting kicked in the balls. 
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Hey, just because you have boobs and have people push you from behind into other people, therefore hurting your boobs, doesn't mean anyone should be booked for murder. Hitting people in the boobs in most cases is on accident, they're just there. Hitting a man in the nuts, well, that is mostly intentional. You can addicentally bump into boobs at a concert, you don't accidentally kick some one in the sack when you're mad at them.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

The nerves down there are so dense and sensitive that he probably died of a combination of pain and shock...

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
