Section 210 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, (BSA), 2023
Certainly! Let me clarify in detail:
๐ Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023 โ Section 210?
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is Indiaโs updated law of evidence, replacing the old Indian Evidence Act, 1872. It contains only 170 sections, so Section 210 does not exist in this Act.
If youโre trying to find legal provisions about how evidence is recorded, admitted, or handled in court, it will be within Sections 1 to 170 of the BSA.
๐ Are You Referring to Section 210 of BNSS, 2023?
Itโs possible you're referring to Section 210 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973.
๐ Section 210 of BNSS, 2023: Cognizance of offences by Magistrates
This section explains how a Magistrate can take cognizance (official notice) of an offence.
Hereโs what it basically says:
A Magistrate of the first class, or any second class Magistrate (who is empowered), can take cognizance of an offence:
Upon a complaint of facts which constitute such offence.
Upon a police report.
Upon information received from any person (other than a police officer), or based on the Magistrateโs own knowledge.
๐ "Cognizance" means the court officially recognizing that a legal offence has been committed, and deciding to start judicial proceedings.
โ Summary:
| Law | Section 210 | Status |
