Last reviewed: 2026-10-15. This page gives general information about criminal procedure in Jammu and Kashmir. It is not legal advice, and every case turns on its own facts. Statutory references are to the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), with the earlier CrPC/IPC provisions in brackets where helpful.
