What this section does

This section provides a framework for executing warrants and summons across borders with contracting States.

Conditions may be imposed on the transfer of prisoners in either direction.

Why this matters

BNSS Section 114 forms part of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on 1 July 2024. Any new filing, FIR, charge sheet, or bail application made on or after that date should cite the new section number. References to the old act in legacy documents remain valid for matters that arose before the changeover.
