The Court of Sessions, in a trial finds Mr. A guilty and imposes punishment of imprisonment of 2 months and fine of Rs. 200 to Mr. A. Which of the following statement is correct as per the provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 417(b) of the BNSS (formerly section 376(b) CrPC) bars an appeal in a petty case where a Court of Session imposes only imprisonment not exceeding three months, a fine not exceeding Rs.200, or both. Two months’ imprisonment together with a Rs.200 fine remains within both ceilings. The combination does not create an appeal merely because both punishments are imposed.
