<h1>Inflicting Hurt for Confession or Property under Section 120 Can Lead to Up to 10 Years Imprisonment</h1> Under Section 120 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, any individual who voluntarily inflicts hurt to extort a confession, information, or compel the restoration of property is subject to imprisonment for up to seven years and a fine. If grievous hurt is caused for these purposes, the punishment increases to imprisonment for up to ten years, along with a fine. The section includes examples such as a police officer torturing someone to obtain a confession or locate stolen property, and a revenue officer using torture to collect overdue revenue, all of which are offenses under this provision.
