Which one of the following sections of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 deals with the provision that no appeal lies in petty cases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 417 of the BNSS (formerly section 376 CrPC) is headed No appeal in petty cases and bars an appeal by a convicted person for the specified limited sentences. The proviso preserves an appeal where another punishment is combined, subject to its stated exceptions. Section 416 concerns guilty pleas; sections 418 and 419 concern State appeals against sentence and appeals in case of acquittal.
Note that the High Court imprisonment threshold in section 417(a) is three months.
