Section 300
When a person is found guilty of one of several possible offences under any written law, but it is doubtful which of those offences the person is guilty of, the court must record a conviction in the alternative, distinctly specifying those offences, and the offender must be punished for the offence carrying the lowest punishment if the same punishment is not provided for all.
