Section 103 of BNS deals with punishment for murder. This section outlines the serious consequences for anyone found guilty of committing murder, whether individually or as a part of a group of five or more people. This section aims at cases where the murder is attempted by discriminatory reasons like race, caste, sex, community, place of birth, language, gender, personal belief or any other similar grounds.
This section is divided into two important parts, each part conveying different types of murder and specifying the penalties.
Before BNS 103 all the cases related to murder punishment were dealt with under section 302 of IPC.
Punishment under BNS 103(1): The first part of this section talks about the punishment of murder committed by an individual. According to section 103(1), anyone who is pronounced guilty of murder will face rigorous punishment. The death penalty or life imprisonment. The death penalty is the most severe form of punishment in BNS 103. This punishment is for the most serious murder cases and in life imprisonment the convicted individual has to spend their life in prison, keeping them away from society to ensure that those individuals who are found guilty of murder face long term consequences for their ill-legal action.
An additional penalty is fine, the amount of the financial penalty can depend on the severity of the case.
Example: A stabbed B intentionally with a knife to kill B and B died. Under section 103(1) of BNS A can be sentenced to death or imprisonment for life, which may include a fine for committing murder.
Punishment under section 103(2): Section 103(2) of BNS deals with punishment for murder. This section outlines the serious consequences for anyone found guilty as a part of a group of five or more people. This section aims at cases where the murder is attempted by discriminatory reasons like race, caste, sex, community, place of birth, language, gender, personal belief or any other similar grounds.
Each member of the group is liable for committing murder. Every member of the group can get the same punishment either the death penalty or imprisonment for life, which may include a fine as well.
Example: A group of 7 people including, A,B,C,D,E,F,G, planned to shoot N, D shot the N because of his caste and language. All 7 members of the group are liable of murder because they all planned to murder N. All seven members of the group can get the same punishment either the death penalty or imprisonment for life, which may include a fine as well.
Cognizable offence: Section 103 of (BNS) Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita is a cognizable offence. It means that the police can arrest the accused without a warrant and can start an investigation without the permission of a magistrate.
Bailable or non bailable offence: This section of BNS is a non bailable offence, the accused is not allowed a bail as a matter of right in such cases only the court grants bail.
Tried by a court of session: Cases under this section are tried in a court of session which handles serious criminal cases.
Compoundability: This offence is non compoundable, and cannot be settled outside of court once a case is filed in the court.
