Under section 2 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following combinations is not…

Oath belongs to Section 2(23), whereas Section 2(22) concerns number; assigning oath to that different definition creates the required mismatch. Section 2 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita assigns separate numbered definitions to number, oath, omission, person and public. The question asks for a mismatch, so a correctly numbered definition must be rejected as an answer even though its underlying legal statement is accurate.

Why not "Section 2 (27) - Public"? Public is correctly paired with Section 2(27), so this accurate definition reference does not satisfy the request for an incorrect match. Section 2 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita assigns separate numbered definitions to number, oath, omission, person and public. The question asks for a mismatch, so a correctly numbered definition must be rejected as an answer even though its underlying legal statement is accurate.

Why not "Section 2 (26) — Person"? Person is correctly paired with Section 2(26), and that definition includes companies and bodies of persons; its numbering supplies no mismatch. Section 2 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita assigns separate numbered definitions to number, oath, omission, person and public. The question asks for a mismatch, so a correctly numbered definition must be rejected as an answer even though its underlying legal statement is accurate.

Why not "Section 2 (25) — Omission"? Omission is correctly paired with Section 2(25), which covers a series as well as a single omission, so the pairing is accurate. Section 2 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita assigns separate numbered definitions to number, oath, omission, person and public. The question asks for a mismatch, so a correctly numbered definition must be rejected as an answer even though its underlying legal statement is accurate.
