Execution of foreign commissions.
What this section does
The provisions governing execution and return of commissions (sections 321–323) apply equally to commissions issued by Courts, Judges, or Magistrates in areas of India where this Sanhita does not extend (as notified by the Central Government), and to those in foreign countries or places notified by the Central Government that have authority to issue commissions for examination of witnesses in criminal matters.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 325 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.
