Section 2 BNS - Definition s

Old law → Section 2 BNS

Corresponds to	Change	Remarks
-	Newly added	In the IPC, definitions are not consolidated in a single section; instead, they are given in independent sections from Section 8 to Section 52A in Chapter II, “General Explanations”. These have been conveniently organised and consolidated in a single section, i.e., Section - 2, in alphabetical order as sub sections with Arabic numerals to facilitat e easier reference.
Section 152 IPC	Modified	In cases where the offender threatens to assault or attempts to obstruct a public servant or threatens or attempts to use criminal force on a public servant in the described situations, the punishment includes imprisonment of a term that may extend to one year. A fine may also be imposed under this sub - section. This is a rare case of a reduction in punishment.

Section 2 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 deals with definition s. Under the old law this was Section 152 of the IPC.
