The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973
CHAPTER I PRELIMINARY
[s 1] Short title, extent and commencement.—
(1) This Act may be called the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
(2) It extends to the whole of India1.[***]:
Provided that the provisions of this Code, other than those relating to Chapters
VIII, X and XI thereof, shall not apply—
(a) to the State of Nagaland,
(b) to the tribal areas,
but the concerned State Government may, by notification, apply such
provisions or any of them to the whole or part of the State of Nagaland or such
tribal areas, as the case may be, with such supplemental, incidental or
consequential modifications, as may be specified in the notification.

Explanation.— In this section, "tribal areas" means the territories which
immediately before the 21st day of January, 1972, were included in the tribal
areas of Assam, as referred to in paragraph 20 of the Sixth Schedule to the
Constitution, other than those within the local limits of the municipality of
Shillong.
(3) It shall come into force on the 1st day of April, 1974.
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC), came into effect from 1 April 1974. It
received the assent of the President on 25 January 1974. For its application to the
Union Territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and
Lakshadweep, see the Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Regulation, 1974 (I of
1974).
There was at first no uniform law of criminal procedure for the whole of India. There
were separate Acts, mostly rudimentary in their character, to guide the procedure of the
Courts in the erstwhile provinces and the presidency towns. Those applying to the
presidency towns were first consolidated by the Criminal Procedure Supreme Courts
Act (XVI of 1852), which in course of time gave place to the High Court' Criminal
Procedure Act (XIII of 1865). The Acts of Procedure applying to the provinces were
replaced by the general Criminal Procedure Code (Act XXV of 1861), which was
replaced by Act X of 1872. It was the Criminal Procedure Code of 1882 (Act X of 1882)
which gave for the first time a uniform law of procedure for the whole of India both in
presidency towns and in the moffusil; it was supplanted by the Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1898 (Act V of 1898). This last-mentioned Act had been amended by many
amending Acts, the most important being those passed in 1923 and 1955. The
extensive amendments of 1955 were made with intent to simplify procedure and speed
up trials. The State Governments too made a large number of amendments to the Code
