Procedure on arrest of person against whom warrant issued.
What this section does
When a warrant is executed outside the district of issue, the arrested person must ordinarily be brought before the Executive Magistrate, District Superintendent of Police, or Commissioner of Police of the area of arrest, unless the issuing Court is within 30 km or is nearer, or bail has been taken under section 73. The arresting police officer must also immediately inform the designated police officer in the district of arrest and in the district where the arrested person normally resides.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 82 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.
