Discussion
Select the correct option based on the statements and conclusions given below regarding the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Statements:-
I. Provisions regarding Commutation of sentence of imprisonment for life have been discussed in Indian Penal Code, 1860.
II. Provisions regarding Fractions of terms of punishment have been discussed in Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Conclusions:-
I. Provisions regarding Fractions of terms of punishment have been discussed in Section 57 of Indian Penal Code, 1860.
II. Provisions regarding Commutation of sentence of imprisonment for life have been discussed in Section 55 of Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Answer: D
Neither conclusion follows. The statements only say that the Indian Penal Code deals with the commutation of a sentence of imprisonment for life and with fractions of terms of punishment; they do not mention any section numbers.
The conclusions attach section numbers, Section 57 for fractions and Section 55 for commutation, which the statements do not give, so the numbers cannot be derived from them even though the numbers are correct as law. On this reading the correct option is that neither conclusion follows, as the key says.
