Indian Penal Code (IPC) 1860 General Exceptions

Point out incorrect response. The principle underlying section 91 I.P.C. is that consent will only condone the act causing harm to the person giving the consent, which will otherwise be an offence. Acts which are offences independently of any harm which they may cause will not be covered by consent given by the sufferer. Some instances of such acts are :

Offences against public safety.

Causing miscarriage to a woman.

Mischief.

Public nuisance.

Explanation:

- Section 91 of the IPC: The principle here is that consent can excuse certain acts causing harm if the person harmed consents. However, there are acts where consent cannot be used as a defense because the acts are offenses on their own, regardless of harm.

- Offences against public safety: These acts are criminal due to their nature, affecting society or public at large, thus consent cannot be a defense.

- Causing miscarriage to a woman: This is a criminal act due to its inherent nature, making consent irrelevant.

- Mischief: Generally, consent can excuse acts of mischief if they only harm the consenting party and aren't criminal in nature outside of the incurred harm.

- Public nuisance: An act affecting public rights, consent by an individual doesn't excuse the act.

Option 3: Mischief typically allows for consent as a defense for the harm, making it not fit with the others.
