Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, for which pair does the Sanhita expressly punish preparation itself, apart from an agreement or attempt?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Sections 149 and 310(4) expressly cover preparatory conduct for waging war and dacoity respectively. Section 152 addresses specified acts involving armed rebellion, and Section 109 applies to attempted murder. Neither supplies a general preparation offence for the corresponding activity.

Option feedback

Option A

Section 149 covers preparation for waging war. The murder and attempted murder provisions do not separately criminalize mere preparation for murder.

Option B

Section 310(4) covers preparation for dacoity. Section 152 criminalizes specified conduct involving armed rebellion, including attempting to excite it, and does not create a general offence of mere preparation for armed rebellion.

Option C

Neither the provision on armed rebellion nor the murder provisions create the specific preparation offence described in the question.

Option D

Section 149 covers preparing to wage war against the Government of India with the specified intent, and Section 310(4) covers preparation to commit dacoity.
