What this section does

A person aggrieved by a refusal to make a complaint under section 379, or against whom such a complaint has been made by a court other than the High Court, may appeal to the superior court. The superior court may, after notice to parties, direct withdrawal of the complaint or direct that the complaint be made, and its order (as well as the original order under section 379) is final and not subject to revision.

Why this matters

BNSS Section 380 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.
