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

Section 59

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01).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

Discharge of person apprehended

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 59 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

No person who has been arrested by a police officer shall be discharged except on his own bond, or on bail, or under the special order of a Magistrate.
