The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita(BNSS) introduces a specific timeframe for pronouncing judgment after the conclusion of arguments in a criminal trial. What is this timeframe?
Within 30 days (extendable to 45 days)
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 with effect from 1 July 2024, sets time limits to speed up criminal trials.
Under Section 258 of the BNSS, the Court of Session must pronounce judgment as soon as possible, within 30 days from the date of completion of arguments, and this period may be extended to 45 days for reasons recorded in writing.
The old CrPC prescribed no such fixed outer limit for delivering judgment after arguments.
Hence, the timeframe is within 30 days (extendable to 45 days).
