IPC 301 in BNS: Section 102

IPC

BNS
102
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 301 dealt with “Culpable homicide by causing death of person other than person whose death was intended”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 102 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
