Who are not exempted from the intra-territorial jurisdiction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 1(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 2 IPC) makes every person liable to punishment for offences committed within India, subject only to recognised immunities: the President and Governors are protected by Article 361 of the Constitution, foreign sovereigns and ambassadors enjoy immunity under international law, and alien enemies are dealt with under the laws of war for acts of war. Ordinary members of the "Public" have no such exemption, so they are fully subject to the Sanhita.
