Transitional note (repeal & savings)

Cases registered or proceedings initiated before 1 July 2024 are governed by IPC 165. Where IPC 165 has no successor in the new code, the legal effect depends on whether the matter is one of pre-BNS repeal, externalisation to a sister statute, or constitutional displacement — see the change-note above and the linked sources for specifics.

Frequently asked

IPC 165 has no direct counterpart in the new code. See the change-note above for the specific reason — common patterns include pre-BNS repeal by an earlier amending act, externalisation to a sister statute (e.g., Legal Metrology Act, Mental Healthcare Act), constitutional displacement by a Supreme Court ruling, or editorial omission.
