Criminal Law (IPC / BNS): Judiciary PYQ MCQs
Explore source-attributed previous-year questions from Delhi and Himachal Pradesh Judicial Service Preliminary Examinations. Each question includes its original printed question number, correct answer, brief reasoning, and a link to the reproduced paper. Historical IPC questions remain labelled as such; current BNS provisions appear in a separate reference table.
Law applicable to the questions: These are historical IPC-based preliminary examination questions. The BNS took effect on 1 July 2024, except section 106(2) at commencement. An earlier examination answer is not automatically a statement of the post-2024 law. Question statements are paraphrased; see each linked paper to review the original wording and choices.

Question-paper sources and editorial method
Each source is a third-party reproduction attributed to the named judiciary preliminary examination. Questions have been paraphrased and assigned their reproduced printed numbers. Answers were checked against the applicable IPC principles; where official model or revised keys were inaccessible, do not treat the educational reproduction as an official final answer key.
Delhi High Court’s official Delhi Judicial Service question-paper archive provides the primary examination publication reference. The links for individual items open the corresponding question-paper reproduction.
