Under the probation of Offender Act, Probation is granted mostly
Answer: B
Under the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, probation is granted mostly to first offenders. The Act was meant to let a person who had committed a minor offence for the first time, and who is not a hardened criminal, remain in the community under supervision instead of going to prison, so that he can be reformed.
It is not given to all offenders, as serious offences are excluded. Terrorists and recidivists, who are repeat offenders, are the groups for whom the Act is least suited, because probation depends on the likelihood of reform.
