BNS
325
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 429 dealt with “Mischief by killing or maiming cattle of any value or any animal of the value of fifty rupees”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 325 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
