The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 · Ch. XXVII — THE JUDGMENT
The original judgment shall be filed with the record of the proceedings and where the original is recorded in a language different from that of the Court, and the accused so requires, a translation thereof into the language of the Court shall be added to such record.
Sections of the CRPC are not classified one by one by any First Schedule. Part II of the First Schedule to the CRPC classifies offences under every other law by the punishment they carry — and the BNSS’s First Schedule sets out the same three bands.
If punishable with death, imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for more than 7 years.
If punishable with imprisonment for 3 years and upwards but not more than 7 years.
If punishable with imprisonment for less than 3 years or with fine only.
Read it against the punishment in the section above. Vidhara does not place a section in a band for you — that turns on the exact wording of its punishment, which is the section’s to say and not ours.
And a special or local law may provide otherwise: see CRPC section 5, which saves any special jurisdiction, power or procedure another law lays down.
CRPC Section 364 → BNSS Section 405 per the official NCRB Sankalan table. Marked "(Change)" — substance modified; compare texts.
This is the text of BNSS Section 405, not of the section above. Read both before relying on either.
The original judgment shall be filed with the record of the proceedings and where the original is recorded in a language different from that of the Court, and if either party so requires, a translation thereof into the language of the Court shall be added to such record.
