<h1>Section 124: Severe Penalties for Acid Attack Offenses, Including Minimum 10-Year Sentence and Victim Compensation Requirements.</h1> Section 124 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the offense of voluntarily causing grievous hurt through acid attacks. It prescribes a minimum imprisonment of ten years, extendable to life, and a fine for causing permanent or partial damage, burns, or disfigurement. The fine must cover the victim's medical expenses and be paid to them. Attempts to commit such acts are punishable by imprisonment of five to seven years and a fine. 'Acid' refers to substances with corrosive or burning properties, and the inflicted damage need not be irreversible to qualify under this section.
