IEA Section 114B (Presumption as to offences committed under section 354, section 354A, section 354B,) was inserted by a state-level amendment and is not carried forward as a directly corresponding provision in the central BNS/BNSS/BSA codification. The state provision continues to apply in the relevant state under the savings clauses of the new code, subject to state-level reconciliation.
