Under section 22 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, incapacity at the time of the act to know its nature, or that it is wrong or contrary to law, must arise from which cause?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 22 concerns incapacity caused by unsoundness of mind at the time of the act. The person must be unable to know the nature of the act, or that it is wrong or contrary to law. A diagnosis or later memory loss alone does not prove that test, and intoxication is separately governed by sections 23 and 24.
