Section 9 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) limits the punishment for an offense that is composed of several parts, each of which could be a separate offense. It states that an offender cannot be punished more severely than what could be awarded for the most serious of the individual offenses, or the combined offense, whichever is less severe.
