Criminal20056 sections

This Chhattisgarh law amends the national Code of Criminal Procedure to apply specifically to the state. It changes how police and magistrates handle accused persons during detention and court proceedings. The key changes require that accused individuals must be present in person or through electronic video linkage with their lawyer before a magistrate to authorize detention or during specific court stages. This ensures better access to legal representation and transparency in the judicial process within Chhattisgarh.
