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

Section 366

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01).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.

Sentence of death to be submitted by Court of Session for confirmation

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 366 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

(1) When the Court of Session passes a sentence of death, the proceedings shall be submitted to the High Court, and the sentence shall not be executed unless it is confirmed by the High Court. (2) The Court passing the sentence shall commit the convicted person to jail custody under a warrant.
