New position
BSA 16 preserves the framework with drafting modernisations as required by the new code. Topic: Proceeding or his agent..

Editorial deltaAI-indicated (source-linked)
BSA-15 reproduces the operative content of IEA-17 (Admission defined) with text-overlap 0.95 on the supplied bare-act extracts. The original PRS-chart-based pairing (BSA-16) appears to have been a parsing artifact: text-comparison shows that destination has a different topic. The corrected pairing reflects the actual section-content correspondence. Cross-references may need to be remapped per locked doctrine #11.
Transitional note (repeal & savings)
For matters initiated before 1 July 2024, IEA 17 continues to apply. For matters from that date forward, BSA 16 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.
