Questions about Section 373

How do I find court cases under Section 373 of the Crpc 1973?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: CRPC 1973 373, section 373 CRPC 1973, section 373 of the Crpc 1973. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 373 of the Crpc 1973, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 117 (Order to give security), section 121 (Power to reject sureties), section 122 (Imprisonment in default of security), so none of them can safely be read on its own. 2 other provisions in this corpus refer back to it.

When was the Crpc 1973 enacted?

Crpc 1973 was enacted in 1974 as Act 2 of 1974. India Code records no commencement date for it. It is no longer in force.
