BNSS · Section 429 · Chapter XXXI — APPEALS

Order of High Court on appeal to be certified to lower Court.

What this section does

When the High Court decides an appeal under this Chapter, it must certify its judgment or order to the court that originally recorded or passed the finding, sentence, or order. Certification to a Judicial Magistrate (other than the CJM) is routed through the CJM, and to an Executive Magistrate through the District Magistrate. The lower court must then make orders conformable to the High Court's judgment and amend the record accordingly.

Why this matters

BNSS Section 429 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.
