Whoever brings into, or takes out of, India, any arms or ammunition in contravention of section 10 shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than

  • A.two years but which may extend to five years and shall also be liable to fine
  • B.three years but which may extend to five years and shall also be liable to fine
  • C.one year but which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine
  • D.three years but which may extend to five years

Answer: A

The minimum is two years, which may extend to five years, with fine.

Bringing arms or ammunition into India, or taking them out, in contravention of section 10 of the Arms Act is an offence under section 25(1B)(f), punishable in the current text with imprisonment of not less than two years but up to five years and fine. The court may give less than the minimum only for adequate and special reasons recorded in the judgment.

Option C, one year to three years, is the older text of section 25(1B). The three-year minimum in options B and D belongs to the higher tier in section 25(1C) for disturbed areas (three to seven years), and option D leaves out the fine that the section also requires.
