Who may issue warrant.
What this section does
A warrant for execution of a sentence may be issued by the Judge or Magistrate who originally passed the sentence, or by that officer's successor-in-office. This ensures continuity of execution authority even when the original judicial officer is no longer in post.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 465 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.
