In which of the following offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is preparation of the offence punishable?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Mere preparation is generally not punishable, but section 149 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 122 IPC) punishes whoever "collects men, arms or ammunition or otherwise prepares to wage war with the intention of either waging or being prepared to wage war against the Government of India". Preparation to commit dacoity (now punishable under section 310 BNS) is another exception.

Preparation to commit murder, dowry death or theft is not an offence; liability begins only at the stage of attempt.
