Bare Act

The Sikkim Criminal Procedure Act, 1976

This Act establishes the specific criminal procedure laws for the State of Sikkim, primarily adopting the general Code of Criminal Procedure from 1898 while applying unique modifications tailored to the region. It grants the State legislature ultimately the authority to amend or repeal these procedures. The legislation addresses past legal frameworks, mandates which parts of the older code no longer apply by removing specific chapters, and requires that all trials before the Court of Session follow specific rules detailed within, ensuring that justice is administered according to local statutes distinct from national laws.
