The application of the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 under Section 6 of the SC/ST Act is:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 6 makes the specified general penal law provisions, which the Act's text lists by reference to the Indian Penal Code and which are now read as the corresponding provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, applicable "subject to the other provisions of this Act". The SC/ST Act's own scheme therefore prevails over the borrowed provisions; their application is not made subject to the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita alone or to State rules.
