Question

The criminal wrong is considered to be

• A. Private wrong
• B. Public wrong
• C. Civil wrong
• D. None of these

Hint:

Criminal wrongs affect public order, distinguishing them from civil wrongs, which seek private remedies.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A criminal wrong is considered a public wrong because it is an offense against the state or society, prosecuted by the state under criminal law (e.g., Indian Penal Code, 1860). Civil wrongs, like torts, are private disputes between individuals. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{Public wrong}} \]
