New Delhi, July 1, 2024: All Metropolitan Magistrates of Magistrial Courts to Chief Metropolitan Magistrates and District Level Judges of Delhi courts have been re-designated. The order regarding the same was issued by Delhi High Court in excercise of powers under sub section 2 of the section 9 of BNSS , newly enforced law.
Interestingly, the order was issued on the same day when three new criminal laws have come into effect in India.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Act (BSA) have replaced the colonial era Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act, respectively from July 1.
Several new provisions have been incorporated in the three new criminal laws to suit contemporary times and technologies in vogue.
