This law amends the Code of Criminal Procedure for Manipur to adjust how criminal laws apply to the Armed Forces and public servants maintaining order. It changes the start date of the original amendment to match when the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act is active in specific areas, ensuring legal proceedings and rights remain valid even if the Act's time limit expires. It also clarifies that the State Government, rather than the Central Government, has authority over these forces in Manipur. Finally, it fixes a reference to the Court of Session.
