Correct Answer:
C. Section 147, P.P.C.
The question asks for the specific legal section that prescribes punishment for the offence of rioting. Section 147, P.P.C. is the correct answer as it explicitly deals with the punishment for rioting under the Pakistan Penal Code.
- Section 145, P.P.C. addresses joining or continuing in an unlawful assembly after it has been commanded to disperse.
- Section 146, P.P.C. defines the offence of rioting itself, explaining what constitutes rioting, but does not specify the punishment.
Therefore, Section 147 is the designated provision for the penalty associated with rioting.
