Converters
The 2023 criminal law reforms replaced three Acts with new ones. The section numbers changed completely. These converters map the old section to the new one so you can read a pre-2024 FIR, charge sheet, or court order and know exactly which current provision it refers to.

FAQ
Why do the 2023 criminal law reforms matter for older cases?
The Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) replaced the Indian Penal Code, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act on 1 July 2024. Cases filed before that date continue under the old law; cases filed after it use the new section numbers. If your FIR or charge sheet was drafted in 2023 or earlier, the sections referenced are the old ones - the converters above map them to the current equivalents.
Are these tools free to use?
Yes. Every tool on this site is free and self-contained - no signup, no login, no payment. They are provided for general information. For a case-specific legal opinion, consult our team directly.
Can I use these tools to prepare a court filing?
The tools tell you the applicable section number, bail status, and deadline - the research layer. Preparing the actual application or complaint is a separate step where our lawyers take over. The converter output is designed to feed directly into a filing draft.
