In respect of the offence of murder under Section 101 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following statements is incorrect?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The incorrect statement is that delay in execution by itself requires conversion of a death sentence to life imprisonment. Triveniben requires examination of the nature of the delay and relevant circumstances after the final judicial decision, and rejects a fixed automatic time rule. The other principles permit death only in the rarest of rare cases, protect reliable eyewitness evidence from speculative medical objections, and allow conviction on a complete circumstantial chain excluding reasonable innocence.
