QUESTION

Malicious poisoning punishable under IPC section 428 and 429 include?

OPTIONS

(A) Toxemia
(B) Castration
(C) Abrus precatorius
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(C) Abrus precatorius

EXPLANATION

Abrus precatorius seeds contain the potent toxalbumin abrin and have been used in malicious poisoning of animals, which can fall under animal-mischief provisions such as IPC Sections 428 and 429. Toxemia is a physiologic state and castration is a procedure, not the specific malicious poison listed.
