Procedure by Magistrate before whom such person arrested is brought.
What this section does
The Executive Magistrate, District Superintendent of Police, or Commissioner of Police before whom the arrested person is brought must direct removal in custody to the issuing Court if the person appears to be the intended accused. If the offence is bailable and the person is ready to furnish bail, the Magistrate or officer may take bail and forward the bond to the issuing Court. For non-bailable offences, the Chief Judicial Magistrate or Sessions Judge of the district of arrest may release the person on bail subject to section 480.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 83 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.
