Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which of the following conviction is appealable?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A sentence of four months' imprisonment by a Court of Session exceeds the three-month petty-case bar in Section 417(b) BNSS (formerly Section 376(b) CrPC), so "Conviction in petty cases by court of Session with a sentence of 4 months imprisonment" is appealable. "Conviction by a High Court in a case wherein accused pleaded guilty" is barred by Section 416, while "Conviction in petty cases by High Court with a sentence of 3 months imprisonment" and "Conviction in petty cases passed by a Magistrate of the first class only with a fine of one hundred rupees" fall within the petty-case bars in Section 417.
