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

Section 472

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01).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

Continuing offence

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 472 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

In the case of a continuing offence, a fresh period of limitation shall begin to run at every moment of the time during which the offence continues.
