[amp_mcq option1=”with death” option2=”with imprisonment for life” option3=”with imprisonment for a term not less than 10 years” option4=”All of these ” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is (d).<\/p>\n

Under Section 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), a Magistrate can authorize detention for a total period of 90 days during investigation in case of offences punishable with death, imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for a term not less than 10 years.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this provision is to allow the police to complete their investigation without undue delay. The Magistrate can authorize detention for a maximum of 15 days at a time, and the total period of detention cannot exceed 90 days.<\/p>\n

If the police do not complete their investigation within 90 days, the accused must be released on bail. However, the police can apply to the Magistrate for a further extension of detention, if they believe that it is necessary to complete the investigation.<\/p>\n

The provision has been criticized by some for being too broad and for giving the police too much power. However, the Supreme Court has upheld the provision, stating that it is necessary to ensure that the police are able to investigate serious crimes effectively.<\/p>\n

The following are the three options of the question:<\/p>\n

(a) with death<\/p>\n

Death is the most severe punishment that can be imposed by a court in India. It is a form of capital punishment, and it is reserved for the most serious crimes, such as murder.<\/p>\n

(b) with imprisonment for life<\/p>\n

Imprisonment for life is a form of imprisonment that has no fixed term. The minimum term of imprisonment for life is 14 years, but the maximum term is not specified.<\/p>\n

(c) with imprisonment for a term not less than 10 years<\/p>\n

Imprisonment for a term not less than 10 years is a form of imprisonment that has a minimum term of 10 years. The maximum term of imprisonment for this offence is not specified.<\/p>\n

(d) All of these<\/p>\n

The Magistrate can authorize detention for a total period of 90 days during investigation in case of offences punishable with death, imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for a term not less than 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
