Who provided legal defence to the people arrested in the aftermath of Chauri Chaura incident?

A
R. Das
B
Madan Mohan Malaviya and Krishna Kant
Correct Answer
C
Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew and Khwaja Hasan Nizami
D
M. A. Jinnah

Explanation

Madan Mohan Malaviya, assisted by Krishna Kant Malaviya, represented the accused in the Allahabad High Court and successfully saved 151 individuals from the death penalty. While C.R. Das was a prominent nationalist lawyer, he was not the lead counsel in this specific case, as his focus at the time was on the political transition toward the Swaraj Party. The core concept tested is the legal and humanitarian response of nationalist leaders to the judicial crackdown following the 1922 Chauri Chaura incident.
