Questions

What is CrPC 389 in BNSS?

Suspension of sentence pending appeal under CrPC section 389 corresponds to section 430 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

Does CrPC 389 still apply?

For acts and proceedings before 1 July 2024, the old law continues to apply under the repeal and savings provision (section 531 of the BNSS). From that date, cite section 430 of the BNSS.
