Procedural changes
C.L. No. 66/VIIb-2 dated 24th September, 1984

Henceforth all the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, relating to
the early disposal of criminal cases should be exercised keeping in view the main
changes made in the Cr.P.C. 1973, for reducing the arrears and expediting the trial of
criminal cases. The District Judges should send a yearly statement to the State
Government showing the progress in the disposal of criminal cases under intimation to
the Court.

petitions has been deleted. (Section 407 and 408)
(3)
Committal proceedings in Sessions cases have been abolished. (Section 209)
(4)
Limits have been prescribed for the duration of security proceedings. If a person
has been kept in custody pending these proceedings for six months, the

concluded within six months, the proceeding will ordinarily terminate but the
court may in special cases continue the same. (Section 116)
(5)
Offences punishable up to 2 years will be summons cases with a simplified
procedure (as against six months under the old code. [Section 2(iv) and (x)].
