Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 1(5)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 provides that the Sanhita also applies to any offence committed by any person on any ship or aircraft registered in India, wherever it may be.

Section 1 contains no exception for Jammu and Kashmir (unlike the former s.1 IPC before the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019), and the Sanhita applies there like the rest of India. Under s.1(3), every person, including a foreigner, is liable to punishment under the Sanhita for every act or omission contrary to its provisions of which he is guilty within India. Under s.1(5)(a), it also applies to any offence committed by a citizen of India in any place without and beyond India.
