Source and review status
The correspondence spine is mechanically extracted from the BPR&D correspondence table, BNSS and CrPC. A correspondence table published by the Bureau of Police Research and Development as a police training aid, dated 21 June 2024. It is a reference document, not a statutory instrument, and carries no legal force of its own. Explanatory copy is credited separately from the mechanically extracted mapping spine. Its author and any confirmed page-specific reviewer are named above.

Common questions
When did the BNSS replace the CrPC?
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024. Transitional questions can depend on the stage of the proceeding, so confirm the applicable code before drafting or filing.
Is the BNSS just the CrPC renumbered?
No. The numbering changed throughout, and some provisions were added, combined or substantively changed. The table helps with correspondence, but it cannot replace reading the applicable bare act.
Which code applies to my matter?
The answer can depend on the date and procedural stage of the matter. Section 531 contains the transitional provision. Obtain professional review for a matter that crosses the commencement date.
Where did this mapping come from?
The mapping spine is mechanically extracted from the BPR&D correspondence table. Draft notes are written separately by AdvocEasy and remain pending advocate review. Each row displays its current provenance.
Stop looking sections up by hand.
AdvocEasy is being built to help advocates choose the applicable code and prepare human-reviewed drafts with the right legal references for the matter.
