Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 · Chapter XVIII: Trial Before A Court of Session

Section 225: Trial to be conducted by Public Prosecutor

The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was repealed and replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 from 1 July 2024. It still applies to offences and proceedings from before that date.

Now in the BNSS section 248 (Trial to be conducted by Public Prosecutor)

In every trial before a Court of Session, the prosecution shall be conducted by a Public Prosecutor.

Corresponding sections were matched by comparing the wording of both official texts, and for the IPC and BNS, also against a published correspondence table. Wording, punishments and structure often changed, so read both sections before relying on the match.
