IPC 86 in BNS: Section 24

Offence requiring particular intent or knowledge committed when intoxicated

IPC

86

BNS

24

Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 86 dealt with “Offence requiring particular intent or knowledge committed when intoxicated”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 24 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
