The Code of Criminal Procedure (Himachal Pradesh Amendment) Act, 1976

Criminal19763 sections

This law amends the criminal procedure code specifically for the state of Himachal Pradesh. It changes a legal term in section 13, replacing the phrase "in any district" with "in any local area" to better fit the state's specific administrative needs. The legislation also officially ends a previous ordinance from the same year, but it ensures that any actions already taken under that old ordinance remain valid. This update helps clarify how criminal cases are handled within the state's borders.
