Question

Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860 the defence of 'Consent' is not available in cases of:

A.

Consent to cause death

B.

Consent to cause grievous hurt

C.

Both (a) and (b)

D.

None of the above

Correct option is C


Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the defense of consent is not available for acts that involve causing death or grievous hurt. Sections 87 to 89 of the IPC lay down the limits of consent, and they do not protect acts that result in such extreme harm, even if consent was given.
Information Booster: Sections 87-89 provide that consent is only a defense in cases of harm that are not serious or fatal. When the act results in death or grievous injury, consent cannot be pleaded as a defense, even if the person consented to the risk.
Additional Knowledge:
· (a) Correct, as consent cannot justify causing death.
· (b) Correct, as grievous hurt is not defensible under consent.
· (d) Incorrect, as both death and grievous hurt cannot be justified by consent.
