Section 21 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 protects the accused from:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Clause (b) of the proviso to section 21 says his failure to give evidence shall not be made the subject of comment by the prosecution "or give rise to any presumption against himself or any person charged together with him". It does not shield an accused who chooses to testify from cross-examination, or stop investigation or other trials.
