Bare Acts › Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC)

Section 42

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01).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

"Local law"

The IPC 1860 was replaced by the BNS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 42 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 358, BNS 2023).

A "local law" is a law applicable only to a particular part of India.
