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

Section 471

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01).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

Exclusion of date on which Court is closed

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 471 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

Where the period of limitation expires on a day when the Court is closed, the Court may take cognizance on the day on which the Court reopens. Explanation.-- A Court shall be deemed to be closed on any day within the meaning of this section, if, during its normal working hours, it remains closed on that day.
