Section 83

Act of a child above seven and under twelve of immature understanding

The IPC 1860 was replaced by the BNS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 83 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 358, BNS 2023).

Nothing is an offence which is done by a child above seven years of age and under twelve, who has not attained sufficient maturity of understanding to judge of the nature and consequences of his conduct on that occasion.
