PULWAMA — In a first for the district, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Pulwama on Monday sentenced two individuals to community service under the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Mudasir Ahmad Lone, son of Ghulam Nabi Lone of Kakapora, and Amir Ahmad Ellehi, son of Mohammad Maqbool Ellehi of Okhoo Kakapora, were found guilty of public disturbance while under the influence of alcohol near the District Hospital Pulwama. The two men will be required to clean the hospital premises for seven days.
This sentence marks a significant stride towards reformative justice in the region. The BNS provision emphasizes rehabilitation and encourages offenders to contribute positively to their community. Instead of solely focusing on deterrence, the new code aims to foster social responsibility and accountability.
The Pulwama Police Department has pledged its commitment to implementing the new provisions of the BNS, striving to balance justice, rehabilitation, and the overall well-being of society.
