Which of the following provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 deals with “Good faith”?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2(11) BNS (formerly section 52 IPC) defines good faith for the Sanhita. An act or belief is not in good faith if it is done or believed without due care and attention. Mere honest assertion of belief therefore does not by itself satisfy this definition. Sections 2(23), 2(12) and 2(20) define oath, Government, and month and year respectively.
