Which of the following offences is punishable with a minimum sentence of seven years:-
Verified Answer
A. 326 I.P.C.
B. 376 (2)(g) I.P.C.
C. 397 I.P.C.
D. 409 I.P.C.
Explanation:
Section 397 of the Indian Penal Code (Robbery, or dacoity, with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt) prescribes imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than seven years. Section 376(2)(g) (gang rape) prescribes a minimum of ten years, which also satisfies the condition, but 397 is a direct fit for 'minimum seven years'.
