CORAM :

SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI & SANJAY A. DESHMUKH, JJ.

DATE :

10th JUNE, 2025 ORDER :

.

The applicant has come before this Court only to the extent of Section 123 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Learned Advocate for applicant submits that since the offence is stated to have taken place on 19.12.2024, on which date the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita had come into existence, the said Section i.e. 123 of the Indian Penal Code ought not to have been invoked. In this case, we would say that respondents may correct the exact Section at any point of time and this cannot be the reason for exercising our powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Application stands rejected at the threshold. ( SANJAY A. DESHMUKH, J. ) ( SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI, J. ) agd
