Under Section 4(d) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, forfeiture of property is listed as a form of punishment. Under which of the following provisions of Chapter VII (Of Offences Against the State) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is forfeiture of specific property expressly prescribed as part of the punishment?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 154 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 126 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860) punishes committing depredation, or making preparations to commit depredation, on the territories of any foreign State at peace with the Government of India with imprisonment up to seven years, fine, and forfeiture of any property used or intended to be used in committing such depredation, or acquired by such depredation. (Similarly, Section 155 prescribes forfeiture of property received knowing it was taken in the commission of offences under Sections 153 or 154, and Section 203 prescribes confiscation of property unlawfully purchased by a public servant.) Sections 147, 148, and 152 prescribe imprisonment and fine (and death under Section 147), but do not prescribe forfeiture of property under those sections.
