Editorial deltaAI-indicated (source-linked)
BNSS 413 carries forward CrPC 372's framework on no-appeal-unless-otherwise-provided. The victim-appeal proviso (the victim's right to prefer an appeal against acquittal, conviction for a lesser offence, or inadequate compensation) is preserved character-identically. BNSS 413 extract is significantly longer than CrPC 372, indicating additional textual content - possibly clarifying the appellate forum or expanding the proviso - is present in the new section but only partly visible in this extract.
Transitional note (repeal & savings)
For matters initiated before 1 July 2024, CrPC 372 continues to apply. For matters from that date forward, BNSS 413 applies. The transition is governed by the repeal-and-savings clause in the new code (BNS 358 / BNSS 531 / BSA 170 as the case may be); pending proceedings under the old code carry forward unaffected.
