Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because the First Law Commission of India, established in 1834 under the chairmanship of Lord Macaulay, drafted and recommended the Indian Penal Code, which was later enacted in 1860. Statement 2 is incorrect because, although the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 has replaced the IPC, the replacement is not 'complete' in a strict legal sense. The implementation of Section 106(2) of the BNS (regarding hit-and-run cases) was put on hold due to protests, meaning that specific provision was not enforced, and the IPC remains applicable for cases registered before July 1, 2024.
