<h1>Section 324: Mischief Offense Covers Intentional Property Damage, Penalties Vary by Severity, Up to 5 Years' Imprisonment.</h1> Section 324 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, defines the offense of mischief as intentionally or knowingly causing wrongful loss or damage to any property, affecting its value or utility. The offender need not intend to harm the property owner, as causing loss to any person suffices. Mischief can involve one's own property or joint property. Punishments vary based on the severity of damage: up to six months' imprisonment or fine for general mischief, escalating to five years' imprisonment for damages exceeding one lakh rupees or involving preparation for causing harm or fear.
