Under section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the punishment for an act endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India is:
A) Imprisonment for life, and fine
B) Imprisonment which may extend to seven years, and fine
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 provides that the offender "shall be punished with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine". Both alternatives, each with fine, are available to the court, so "Both (A) and (B)" is correct; "A only" and "B only" each leave out an alternative the section provides, and "None of the given options is correct" is wrong because both statements are accurate.
The seven-year alternative is higher than the three years that applied to sedition (formerly s.124A IPC), which the Sanhita does not retain.
