Give correct response. A, the accused was an educated person living in a town where medical attendance was available, chained up his brother, who was suffering from periodical fits of violent insanity, for over three months in a unnecessarily cruel manner. Held that:

The accused acted in good faith because every reasonable man would have acted in a similar way in those circumstances.

The accused acted in good faith for the benefit of his brother and was, therefore, not liable.

The accused acted in good faith because whatever he did was, in his judgment, in the interest of his brother and he reasonably believed that it was for his good, more over the chaining was without any malice or mens rea.

The accused did not act in good faith because he failed to exercise due care and attention in as much as he did not avail of the medical care, instead hastened to subject the victim to undue cruelty.
