In this article, we will introduce you to Section 93 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS Section 93). In today’s article we will talk about what is this section of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita? As we know that IPC has now been replaced by BNS. So let’s start.
Definition of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 93
Exposure and abandonment of child under twelve years of age, by parent or person having care of it- Whoever being the father or mother of a child under the age of twelve years, or having the care of such child, shall expose or leave such child in any place with the intention of wholly abandoning such child, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, or with fine, or with both.
Explanation- This section is not intended to prevent the trial of the offender for murder or culpable homicide, as the case may be, if the child die in consequence of the exposure.
