Section 471Procedural

Money ordered to be paid recoverable as a fine

Full Text

Any money (other than a fine) payable by virtue of any order made under this Sanhita, and the method of recovery of which is not otherwise expressly provided for, shall be recoverable as if it were a fine:

Provided that section 461 shall, in its application to an order under section 400, by virtue of this section, be construed as if in the proviso to sub-section (1) of section 461, after the words and figures “under section 395”, the words and figures “or an order for payment of costs under section 400” had been inserted.

Plain English Summary

Ensures that any monetary payment ordered under the BNSS (like costs or compensation) can be recovered using the same legal methods as a fine.

Key Legal Elements

  • Money other than fine
  • Recoverable as if fine
  • Application to Section 400 costs
  • Alignment with Section 461 recovery methods

Practical Note

This is a catch-all provision for recovery. It allows courts to use attachment and sale of property to recover non-fine amounts like legal costs under Section 400.

हिंदी पाठ

इस संहिता के अधीन किए गए किसी भी आदेश के आधार पर देय कोई भी धन (जुर्माने के अलावा), और जिसकी वसूली की विधि अन्यथा स्पष्ट रूप से उपबंधित नहीं है, इस प्रकार वसूल किया जाएगा मानो वह जुर्माना हो :

परंतु धारा 461, इस धारा के आधार पर धारा 400 के अधीन किसी आदेश पर लागू होने में, इस प्रकार समझी जाएगी मानो धारा 461 की उपधारा (1) के परंतुक में, "धारा 395 के अधीन" शब्दों और अंकों के बाद, "या धारा 400 के अधीन खर्चों के भुगतान के लिए आदेश" शब्द और अंक डाले गए हों।
