Which of the following sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 has a provision related to solitary confinement ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 11 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 73 IPC) allows the court to order solitary confinement for part of a sentence where it has power to sentence the offender to rigorous imprisonment, not exceeding three months in all, and section 12 (formerly section 74 IPC) limits it: it may not exceed fourteen days at a time, with intervals.

Sections 7 and 8 deal with sentences wholly or partly rigorous or simple and with fines and imprisonment in default of fine, sections 9 and 10 with limits of punishment of offences made up of several offences and doubtful judgments, and section 13 with enhanced punishment after a previous conviction, while section 14 begins the general exceptions.
