<h1>Section 258: Punishment for Authority Figures Misusing Power for Unlawful Confinement Up to Seven Years Imprisonment.</h1> Section 258 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the misconduct of individuals in positions of authority who have the legal power to commit or keep persons in confinement. If such individuals corruptly or maliciously commit someone for trial or confinement, or keep them confined, knowing their actions are contrary to the law, they face punishment. The penalty for this offense can include imprisonment for up to seven years, a fine, or both. This provision aims to safeguard against abuses of power in the judicial and confinement processes.
