Which law applies? Offences committed before 1 July 2024 are generally governed by the IPC, and investigations, trials and appeals pending on that date continue under the CrPC (BNSS s.531). New offences such as organised crime (BNS s.111), terrorist act (BNS s.113), snatching (BNS s.304) and mob lynching (BNS s.103(2)) have no exact IPC equivalent.
