BNS
317(3)
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 412 dealt with “Dishonestly receiving property stolen in the commission of a dacoity”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 317(3) of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
