Both provisions provide routes to victim compensation. Section 395 BNSS permits specified compensation orders in connection with sentencing, including allocation of a recovered fine and compensation under subsection (3) when fine does not form part of the sentence.

Section 379 concerns the procedure for complaints about offences affecting the administration of justice.
