Bare Acts › Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC)

Section 229

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

Conviction on plea of guilty

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 229 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

If the accused pleads guilty, the Judge shall record the plea and may, in his discretion, convict him thereon.
