Steno Patna Civil Court Steno Dictation No. 767

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has passed its first order interpreting a provision of the newly enforced Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). BNSS, along with Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam came into effect from July 1, 2024. Not soon thereafter, on July 2, the High Court was faced with the dilemma whether a criminal revision petition filed before it would be governed by the now repealed CrPC or the BNSS.
