Reciprocal arrangements regarding processes.

What this section does

A Court in the BNSS territories may send summonses, arrest warrants or search-warrants in duplicate to Courts in other Indian States or to Courts in contracting foreign States (with which the Central Government has made arrangements) for service or execution. Conversely, Courts in the BNSS territories must serve or execute such processes received from other Indian State Courts or contracting foreign State Courts as if they were local processes; arrested persons are dealt with under sections 82–83 and items found in searches are dealt with under section 104, with documents/things from contracting States forwarded through the Central Government-notified authority.
