Discussion
Culpable mental state includes
(1) intention, 2 motive, (3) knowledge of a fact
Answer: D
The answer is All of these.
Under the NDPS Act (Explanation to Section 35) and the POCSO Act (Section 30), 'culpable mental state' includes intention, motive, knowledge of a fact, and belief in, or reason to believe, a fact. The courts may presume such a mental state, and the accused must then prove he had none.
Since intention, motive and knowledge are all included, the pairs in options A, B and C are incomplete.
