<h1>Life Imprisonment for Rape: Section 64 Enhances Penalties for Public Officials and Aggravated Cases Under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.</h1> Section 64 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, prescribes the punishment for rape. The general punishment is rigorous imprisonment for a minimum of ten years, extendable to life imprisonment, along with a fine. However, for specific offenders such as police officers, public servants, armed forces members, jail staff, hospital staff, or those in positions of trust, the punishment extends to life imprisonment for the remainder of the offender's natural life. This also applies to cases involving aggravated circumstances, such as rape during communal violence, on pregnant women, or on women incapable of consent.
