The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 has introduced a progressive concept in the Indian justice system: Community Service.
Previously, even minor offenses could technically lead to imprisonment. Now, Magistrates have the discretion to order community service for specific petty crimes.
What crimes are covered?
- Defamation
- Theft below ₹5,000 (if the offender returns the property and it is a first offense)
- Public misconduct by a drunken person
