<h1>Section 262: Penalties for Resisting or Obstructing Lawful Arrest and Escaping Custody Include Up to Two Years Imprisonment</h1> Section 262 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses resistance or obstruction to lawful apprehension. It stipulates that any individual who intentionally resists or illegally obstructs their lawful arrest for a charged or convicted offense, or who escapes or attempts to escape from lawful custody, faces additional punishment. This punishment can include imprisonment for up to two years, a fine, or both. The section clarifies that this penalty is separate from any punishment related to the original offense for which the person was charged or convicted.
