BNS
189(6)
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 150 dealt with “Hiring or conniving at hiring of persons to join unlawful assembly”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 189(6) of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
