BNS
193(1)
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 154 dealt with “Owner or occupier of land on which unlawful assembly is held”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 193(1) of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
