Question

Life imprisonment means

• A. Imprisonment for life
• B. Imprisonment for 12 years
• C. Imprisonment for 20 years
• D. Imprisonment for 14 years

Hint:

Life imprisonment is for the convict’s entire life unless altered by legal processes like pardon or commutation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Under Section 53 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, life imprisonment means imprisonment for the remainder of the convict’s natural life, unless commuted or remitted. Fixed terms like 12, 14, or 20 years do not apply. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{Imprisonment for life}} \]
