Criminal19637 sections

This law amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to make legal processes in Gujarat more efficient. It changes how courts recover penalties from people who guarantee another person's appearance, giving them the power to seize and sell property if the money is not paid. The legislation also reclassifies certain assault offenses as bailable and updates court forms to match these changes. Furthermore, it extends the time a magistrate can hold an accused person in custody without police involvement, allowing up to 60 days for most crimes and 120 days for serious offenses, while requiring written reasons for any further extensions.
