      Question

      Under the BNSS, which of the following best describes

      the concept of “mens rea” (guilty mind) in criminal liability?
      A Mere intention without any action Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The physical act of committing a crime only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The combination of both intention and voluntary action Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D An accidental act without intention Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The punishment awarded by the court Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The BNSS, like traditional criminal law principles, requires both “actus reus” (the guilty act) and “mens rea” (the guilty mind) for establishing criminal liability. Mens rea refers to the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime, alongside the physical act. Without mens rea, the act alone usually does not constitute a crime.
