3 conditions now must to get community service for theft

IndiaTimes Monday, 1 January 2024
A theft convict, to get the benefit of community service as punishment, will have to fulfil three conditions - being convicted for the first time, the value of the stolen property being less than Rs 5,000, and having either restored the stolen property or returned the value of the stolen property. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 (BNS), notified last month but which is yet to come into force, also provides for community service as punishment for non-appearance in response to a proclamation under Section 84 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 (BNSS).
