Correct option is A
Assertion (A): "Where an accused person has pleaded guilty and has been convicted on such plea, there shall be no appeal."
· This statement is generally true. Under Section 375 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.), no appeal lies in cases where the accused has pleaded guilty and been convicted based on that plea. The only exception to this is when the appeal relates to the extent or legality of the sentence, not the conviction itself.
Reason (R): "A person who deliberately pleads guilty cannot be aggrieved by being convicted."
· This statement is also true. When someone voluntarily pleads guilty, they are essentially admitting to the crime, and they cannot later claim to be aggrieved by the conviction because it was a consequence of their own admission of guilt.
Conclusion:
Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains why there is no appeal after a guilty plea (because the person admitted guilt voluntarily), (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
