Which BNS section replaced IPC 319?
BNS Section 114 — Hurt. IPC 319 dealt with hurt; the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita carries it forward under the new numbering.
Is IPC 319 still valid?
The IPC was repealed from 1 July 2024. Offences committed before that date are still tried under the IPC; anything after falls under the BNS. Both matter for exams — questions are set on the old and the new numbering.
