How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Multiple choice questions, all 20
1.Section 82 of IPC provides that nothing is an offence which is done by a child under: (A) six years of age (B) seven years of age (C) nine years of age (D) ten years of age.
Answer
The answer is (B), seven years of age.
Section 82 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 says: "Nothing is an offence which is done by a child under seven years of age." It is now section 20 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
Why. The law conclusively presumes that a child under seven cannot form a guilty mind. This is total immunity. No evidence can rebut it.
Why the other options are wrong. (A), (C) and (D) give the wrong age. The Code fixes the age at seven.
Between seven and twelve. A child above seven and under twelve has only qualified immunity (section 21, formerly section 83). He is protected only if he lacked sufficient maturity to understand the nature and consequences of his act.
The case. In Hiralal Mallick v. State of Bihar, AIR 1977 SC 2236, the Supreme Court described this as total immunity up to seven and partial absolution up to twelve.
