Question

Under which of the following Sections of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 a conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India is punishable?

A.

120

B.

120 A

C.

121 A

D.

121

Correct option is C


Section 121A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, specifically deals with conspiracy to commit offences such as waging or attempting to wage war against the Government of India. This Section makes it punishable to conspire to wage war, even if no war actually takes place.
Information Booster:
Section 121A penalizes any person conspiring to wage war against the Government of India, even if the conspiracy doesn't result in actual warfare. This Section is critical because it criminalizes mere conspiracy, demonstrating the State's concern with the early stages of planning attacks against its sovereignty.
Additional Information:
· Option (a) Section 120: Section 120 defines "criminal conspiracy" generally, but does not specifically relate to conspiracy to wage war.
· Option (b) Section 120A: Section 120A defines "criminal conspiracy" but is broader in scope and doesn’t specifically mention waging war against the Government of India.
· Option (d) Section 121: Section 121 deals with the actual act of waging war or attempting to wage war against the Government of India, not conspiracy.
