What this section does

Any person aggrieved by an order under section 498 or section 499 may appeal to the Court to which appeals ordinarily lie from convictions by the Court that made the order. The Appellate Court may stay, modify, alter, annul or supplement the order as just. These powers may also be exercised by a Court of appeal, confirmation or revision while dealing with the same case.

Why this matters

BNSS Section 500 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.
