[amp_mcq option1=”Chapter VA” option2=”Chapter VI” option3=”Chapter VII” option4=”Chapter X ” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a).<\/p>\n
Chapter VA of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with criminal conspiracy. Section 120A of the IPC defines criminal conspiracy as follows:<\/p>\n
“120A. Abetment of crime:<\/p>\n
When two or more persons agree to commit an offence, and there is an overt act committed in pursuance of such agreement by one or more of them, such persons shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine, or with both.”<\/p>\n
A criminal conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to commit an offence. The agreement must be made with the intention of carrying out the offence, and at least one overt act must be committed in pursuance of the agreement.<\/p>\n
The punishment for criminal conspiracy is imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine, or with both.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they do not deal with criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n
(b) Chapter VI of the IPC deals with offences against the State.<\/p>\n
(c) Chapter VII of the IPC deals with offences against public tranquility.<\/p>\n
(d) Chapter X of the IPC deals with offences against the public health, safety, decency and morals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
