Which pair of provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 provides, respectively, for an order to pay compensation and for the victim compensation scheme?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 395 enables compensation orders, including application of a recovered fine and, under subsection (3), compensation where fine does not form part of the sentence. Section 396 provides a funded victim compensation scheme; the legal services authority determines compensation under that scheme. Section 397 instead concerns treatment of victims.

Option feedback

Option A

Section 379 concerns procedure in certain offences affecting administration of justice; it is not the general compensation provision.

Option B

Section 395 is correct, but section 397 concerns treatment of victims.

Option C

Section 396 is the scheme provision, while section 397 concerns treatment rather than the general compensation order.

Option D

Section 395 governs compensation orders and section 396 the victim compensation scheme.
