Which of the following statements is true under Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 27(3) allows a sentence of death, in addition to life imprisonment, where use of prohibited arms or ammunition, or an act in contravention of s.7, causes another person's death, a possibility not extended to ordinary s.5 contraventions under s.27(1), which carries no death penalty even if death occurs.
