Section 9 of BNS : Section 9: Limit of punishment of offence made up of several offences.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rahul is involved in a street fight where he punches Ramesh multiple times, causing injuries. Each punch could be considered an individual act of causing hurt. However, under Section 9 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Rahul will not be punished separately for each punch. Instead, he will receive one punishment for the entire act of causing hurt to Ramesh.

Example 2:

Seema hacks into a company's computer system and steals sensitive data. This act could fall under multiple offences such as unauthorized access to a computer system and theft of data. According to Section 9, Seema will not receive separate punishments for each offence. She will be punished based on the most severe offence, which in this case could be theft of data, as per the court's discretion.
