The age of doli incapax in India is.....................

  • A.A person who is below seven years of age.
  • B.A person who is in between seven to twelve years of age
  • C.A person who is below sixteen years of age
  • D.A person who is below eighteen years of age.

Answer: A

Doli incapax applies to a person who is below seven years of age.

Section 82 of the IPC provides that nothing is an offence which is done by a child under seven years of age. The presumption that such a child is incapable of crime (doli incapax) is absolute and cannot be rebutted.

For children between seven and twelve, Section 83 gives only a qualified immunity: the child is not liable if he had not attained sufficient maturity of understanding to judge the nature and consequences of his conduct. Sixteen and eighteen are ages relevant under juvenile justice law, not doli incapax.
