Section 92 BNS or Section 92 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita talks about “Causing death of quick unborn child by act amounting to culpable homicide.“
Section 92 of BNS is part of CHAPTER V OF OFFENCES AGAINST WOMAN AND CHILD in Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 Act
Definition of Section 92 BNS
Whoever does any act under such circumstances, that if he thereby caused death he would be guilty of culpable homicide, and does by such act cause the death of a quick unborn child, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Illustration.
A, knowing that he is likely to cause the death of a pregnant woman, does an act which, if it caused the death of the woman, would amount to culpable homicide. The woman is injured, but does not die; but the death of an unborn quick child with which she is pregnant is thereby caused. A is guilty of the offence defined in this section.
