Q86 (CISF/2025) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which one among the following is not punishable under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 ?

Explanation

Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, titled "Acts endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India," replaces the colonial-era sedition law (Section 124A of the IPC). It penalizes anyone who purposely or knowingly, by words, signs, electronic communication, or financial means, excites or attempts to excite secession, armed rebellion, or subversive activities, or encourages feelings of separatist activities.

Option D is not punishable under Section 152. Instead, aiding the escape of a prisoner of war or a State prisoner is dealt with under Section 150 of the BNS (which corresponds to Section 130 of the Indian Penal Code). Section 152 focuses specifically on threats to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of India rather than the custody of prisoners.
