Section 16 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 No Offense for Acts Done in Good Faith Under Court Orders
The Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 provision protects individuals who act according to court orders in good faith. It acknowledges that there can be judicial errors but ensures that individuals who only implement decisions are not unjustly penalized. This provision is essential for ensuring that there is trust in the judicial system and that legal orders are obeyed as long as they are lawful without fear of facing legal repercussions. But it further stresses that this protection is only extended when the individual actually believes in the authority of the court and does not intend to do ill.
