Correct Answer:
B. 302
The Pakistani Penal Code (P.P.C.) clearly distinguishes between the definition of an offense and its prescribed punishment.
- The correct answer is Section 302, P.P.C., which specifically deals with the punishment for committing Qatl-i-amd. This section outlines the various penalties that can be imposed.
- Section 301, P.P.C., is incorrect as it addresses Qatl-i-amd of a person other than the one intended, not the general punishment.
- Section 303, P.P.C., is incorrect as it deals with Qatl-i-amd under ikrah (coercion), which is a specific circumstance, not the general punishment section.
