Section 412: Reasons to be recorded

The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was repealed and replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 from 1 July 2024.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 452 (Reasons to be recorded)

A Sessions Judge or Magistrate making an order under section 408, section

409, section 410 or section 411 shall record his reasons for making it.

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.
