Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies that criminal cases registered before July 1st, 2024, will be tried under the law that was in effect at the time of registration, not the new BNS law. While there isn't a strict time limit imposed by the new law for old cases, courts can still prioritise expeditious trials. The magistrate's refusal of a longer date may be due to court policy on clearing older cases, rather than a direct application of the new BNS law.

The old cases will be tried as per the law existing on that date and the new law will not be attracted or applicable to the old cases.
The court can decide about expeditious trial

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 13 July 2024
Yes, cases registered before July 1st,2024 will be tried by law existing on that day.
