How to use this
- Click any row to open the full text of both sections side by side, with a colour-coded redline: words removed from the old section and added in the new one.
- Works both ways. A number is matched whether it is the old or the new section, and the ⇄ button flips the display so you can read it as new → old (for example BNSS → CrPC).
- Tags. Changed the provision was re-worked, New provision it has no old equivalent, Omitted the old provision was dropped.
- Open the bare Act (the link at the top of each list) and read the actual section before relying on it. This table shows where a subject moved, not the full change in wording, ingredients or punishment.

Please read
- This is general reference to help you locate a provision, not legal advice, and does not create an advocate-client relationship.
- The new laws change substance in many places, not just numbering. Read the bare section, not only this map.
- For a live matter, confirm the correct provision with an advocate. You can contact the firm to discuss yours.
