📊 Phase 5 Analysis (Sec. 206-302)
This phase consolidates public justice and public health, while introducing heavy-hitting new chapters:
- Organized Crime (111): While not strictly in the 206-302 numerical range for definition, its implications for public safety are linked to this phase. It covers kidnapping, robbery, and cybercrime by syndicates.
- Petty Organized Crime (304): Defines common street crimes like pocket-picking and snatching when done by a group or as part of a recurring pattern.
- False Evidence: The punishment for false evidence (BNS 229) has been streamlined to better reflect the severity of perjury in modern trials.
Section 226: Note that "Attempt to commit suicide to compel a public servant" is placed in the Public Justice chapter.
Religious Offences: Sections 297-302 BNS carry over IPC 295-298 but with updated terminology to protect public order.
