Under section 11(a) of the BNS, where the court may impose solitary confinement and the term of imprisonment does not exceed six months, what is the maximum total period of solitary confinement under that scale?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 11(a) sets a total maximum of "One month" of solitary confinement where the imprisonment term does not exceed six months, not "Three months", "Six months" or "The entire imprisonment term". Section 12 further restricts individual periods and requires intervals, so the one-month total does not authorise uninterrupted confinement for a month.
