Question
Which of the following is a valid defense under BNSS
that completely absolves a person from criminal liability?Solution
Under the BNSS, insanity (mental incapacity) is recognized as a complete defense if it can be proven that the accused was unable to understand the nature of the act or distinguish right from wrong at the time of the offence. This defense negates mens rea, thereby absolving the accused of criminal liability. Mistake of law is generally not a defense, consent may be a defense in specific cases, and voluntary intoxication or negligence do not typically provide complete immunity.
