Correct Answer:
C. Five or more persons
Section 141 of the Pakistan Penal Code (P.P.C.) defines what constitutes an "unlawful assembly." A fundamental requirement for an assembly to be legally deemed unlawful under this section is the minimum number of individuals involved, along with a shared unlawful common object.
- Correct Option C: "Five or more persons" is the statutory minimum number of individuals explicitly required to form an unlawful assembly according to Section 141, P.P.C.
- Option A: "Two or more persons" is typically associated with conspiracy or other joint offenses, but not an unlawful assembly under this specific section.
- Option B: "Three or more persons" is also incorrect as the P.P.C. sets a higher threshold of five.
- Option D: "None of These" is false because Option C accurately reflects the legal definition.
