In which group of sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 has the death penalty been prescribed as one of the punishments?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Death is a possible punishment under section 103 (murder; formerly section 302 IPC), section 230 (giving or fabricating false evidence to procure conviction of a capital offence, where an innocent person is convicted and executed; formerly section 194 IPC), section 147 (waging war against the Government of India; formerly section 121 IPC) and section 160 (abetment of mutiny, if mutiny is committed; formerly section 132 IPC).
Section 152 (act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India) and section 153 (waging war against any foreign State at peace with the Government of India) carry at most imprisonment for life, as does section 178 (counterfeiting coin, Government stamps, currency-notes or bank-notes), so every other group includes a section without death.
