Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, what is the maximum duration of sentence of imprisonment that can be imposed on persons found to have committed the offence of affray?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The maximum imprisonment for affray is one month under section 194(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 160 IPC). Affray consists of two or more persons fighting in a public place and thereby disturbing the public peace. The punishment may be imprisonment of either description up to one month, a fine up to one thousand rupees, or both; the suggested longer imprisonment limits do not apply to this offence.
