Question/ Answer
Question1 : What is a key change introduced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, regarding offenses against the state, specifically the law on sedition?
  • A. The offense of sedition has been retained with a modified definition.
  • B. The offense of sedition has been removed and replaced with a new provision on acts endangering the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India.
  • C. The punishment for sedition has been increased to life imprisonment without the possibility of a fine.
  • D. The law on sedition has been made gender-neutral to apply to all genders.
Correct Answer: B Explanation The BNS has removed the offense of sedition, which was a subject of much debate under the old Indian Penal Code (IPC). It has been replaced by a new, more specific offense that criminalizes acts intended to endanger the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India, aiming to modernize the law and address contemporary challenges while repealing a colonial-era provision.
Question 2: Under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA), which of the following is considered a key change regarding confessions made to a police officer under section 23?
  • A. A confession made to a police officer is now entirely admissible in a court of law.
  • B. The BSA adds a provision that a confession made to a police officer can be proved in court if it leads to the discovery of a new fact related to the crime.
  • C. A confession made while in police custody is always inadmissible, without any exceptions.
  • D. The BSA removes the distinction between judicial and extra-judicial confessions.
Correct Answer: B Explanation The BSA retains the principle that confessions to a police officer are generally inadmissible. However, it preserves the exception from the previous law, where a portion of the information that leads to a clear and distinct discovery of a fact related to the crime can be proven in court.
Question 3: The Right to Property was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights by which amendment?
  • A. 42nd Amendment
  • B. 44th Amendment
  • C. 61st Amendment
  • D. 52nd Amendment
Correct Answer: B Explanation The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 removed the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights and made it a legal right under Article 300-A.
Question 4: The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) introduces a significant change to criminal procedure by mandating forensic investigation for which of the following categories of offenses?
  • A) Offenses punishable with less than three years of imprisonment.
  • B) All non-cognizable offenses.
  • C) Offenses punishable with death or life imprisonment.
  • D) Offenses punishable with seven years of imprisonment or more.
Correct Answer: D Explanation The BNSS, in Section 176(3), makes it mandatory for a forensic expert to visit the crime scene to collect evidence for all offenses that are punishable with imprisonment for seven years or more. This is a major change aimed at improving the use of scientific methods in criminal investigations to increase objectivity and conviction rates.
Question 5: According to the Indian Contract Act, 1872, which of the following statements about 'consideration' is true?
  • A. Consideration must be an adequate equivalent for the promise.
  • B. Consideration must be a tangible item, like money or goods.
  • C. Consideration must be something that the promisor is already legally bound to do.
  • D. Consideration may be an act, abstinence, or a promise, and it does not need to be adequate to the value of the promise.
Correct Answer: D Explanation: Section 2(d) of the Indian Contract Act defines consideration as an act, abstinence, or promise that is done at the desire of the promisor. A key principle is that while it must be something of value in the eyes of the law, the law does not concern itself with its adequacy. This means that even a small or nominal consideration can be sufficient to make a contract legally binding, as long as it has some legal value.
