'Every Person' referred to in section 1(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 includes

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The expression covers both natural persons and legal persons. Section 1(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 2 IPC) imposes liability on every person for offences within its scope, while section 2(26) (formerly section 11 IPC) supplies the inclusive definition that extends to companies, associations and bodies of persons. Inclusion of an organization does not mean that every offence can be committed by it regardless of the elements of that offence.
