      Solution

      Under Section 23 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, the Court of a Magistrate of the First Class may impose a fine not exceeding ₹50,000 or imprisonment up to three years, or both, including the option of community service. This is a significant increase from the earlier limit of ₹10,000 under the old CrPC for a First Class Magistrate. The provision aims to enhance the punishment and deterrence capacity of magistrates for offenses falling under their jurisdiction.
