Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which offence is dealt with in section 152?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) is headed "Act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India". It punishes exciting or attempting to excite secession, armed rebellion or subversive activities, encouraging feelings of separatist activities, or endangering the sovereignty or unity and integrity of India, with imprisonment for life or imprisonment up to seven years, and fine. The BNS has dropped the offence of sedition (formerly s.124A IPC).
Waging war against the Government of India is section 147, conspiracy to commit offences punishable by section 147 is section 148, and assaulting the President or a Governor to compel or restrain the exercise of a lawful power is section 151.
