Editorial deltaAI-indicated (source-linked)
BNSS-115 reproduces the operative content of CRPC-105C (Assistance in relation to orders of attachment or forfeiture of property) with text-overlap 0.82 on the supplied bare-act extracts. The original PRS-chart-based pairing (BNSS-113) 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, CrPC 105C continues to apply. For matters from that date forward, BNSS 113 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.
