Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Satauram Mandavi v. State of Chhattisgarh concerns Article 20(1), which bars a punishment greater than the law permitted when the offence was committed. The Supreme Court found that a later POCSO amendment had been wrongly used to impose a harsher sentence for an earlier offence. It upheld the conviction but modified the sentence to comply with the law applicable on the offence date.
