THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE (DELHI AMENDMENT) BILL, 2011
The Code of Criminal Procedure (Delhi Amendment) Act
Criminal20113 sections
This amendment applies to the National Capital Territory of Delhi, regulating how the local government can divide or alter the boundaries of metropolitan areas for judicial purposes. It allows the government to split or change these zones, which act as court jurisdictions, provided each area maintains a population of at least one million people. It also empowers the High Court to manage ongoing court cases during these transitions. This matters because it enables the administration to adapt judicial districts to rapid urban growth, ensuring efficient court operations and municipal management without disrupting active legal proceedings for citizens.
