Under section 29 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which class of acts falls outside the consent exceptions in sections 25, 26 and 27?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 29 excludes acts that constitute offences independently of harm to the person who gives consent or on whose behalf consent is given. The exclusion applies even when consent otherwise meets the conditions of the relevant exception.

Option feedback

Option A

Section 29 excludes acts that are independently offences apart from the harm in question.

Option B

Sections 25 to 27 can recognize implied consent. Its form does not trigger the section 29 exclusion.

Option C

Adult express consent can matter under the relevant exception. Section 29 asks whether the act is independently an offence.

Option D

Section 27 allows guardian consent in specified circumstances. Section 29 does not categorically exclude acts involving a guardian's consent.
