कानपूर आणि मिरत खटल्यासंबंधी खालील विधाने वाचा.
विधान I : दोन्ही खटल्यांमध्ये कम्युनिस्ट पक्षाच्या कामगार नेत्यांवर गुन्हे दाखल केले होते.
विधान II : वरील दोन्ही खटल्यांमध्ये सर्व नेत्यांची निर्दोष सुटका झाली.

The correct answer is Option C (Statement I is correct and II is incorrect).

Key Points:
• Conspiracy Cases Against Communists:
• The British colonial administration launched several conspiracy cases to suppress the rising communist and militant trade union movement in India.
• Statement Analysis:
• Statement I is Correct: In both the Kanpur Bolshevik Conspiracy Case (1924) and the Meerut Conspiracy Case (1929–1933), prominent Communist Party leaders and trade union organizers (including S. A. Dange, Muzaffar Ahmed, Shaukat Usmani, Philip Spratt, Ben Bradley, etc.) were prosecuted under Section 121A of the IPC for conspiring to overthrow the British Crown.
• Statement II is Incorrect: The leaders were NOT acquitted; instead, almost all primary leaders were heavily convicted and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment and transportation for varying terms (e.g., Dange, Muzaffar Ahmed received 4 years in Kanpur case and transportation terms in Meerut case).
• Hence, Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: Kanpur (1924) and Meerut (1929) cases targeted communist trade union leaders, who were convicted with rigorous imprisonment.
