Which provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 deal with the 'Solitary confinement' and 'limits on solitary confinement' ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 11 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 73 IPC) lets the court order solitary confinement for an offence for which it may sentence the offender to rigorous imprisonment, up to three months in all, scaled to the term of the sentence. Section 12 (formerly section 74 IPC) limits it to not more than fourteen days at a time, with intervals of not less duration, and to not more than seven days in any one month where the imprisonment exceeds three months. Sections 4 and 5 deal with punishments and commutation of sentence, sections 6 and 7 with fractions of terms of punishment and sentences wholly or partly rigorous or simple, and sections 9 and 10 with limits of punishment of offences made up of several offences and doubtful judgments.
