According to Sections 11 and 12 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, a convict can be kept in solitary confinement for any portion or portions of imprisonment to which he is sentenced. Which of the following is incorrect?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 11 of the BNS allows solitary confinement of not more than one month where the term does not exceed six months, "two months if the term exceeds six months and does not exceed one year", and three months where it exceeds one year, never more than three months in all. So three months for a term of six months to one year is the incorrect statement; section 12 adds that no spell may exceed fourteen days at a time.
