Transitional note (repeal & savings)
For matters initiated before 1 July 2024, IEA 67 continues to apply. For matters from that date forward, BSA 65 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.
