Use Earlier Judgments with the Present Law

Many older decisions were delivered under statutes such as the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Indian Evidence Act. Their principles may continue to remain relevant under the BNS, BNSS and BSA where the underlying provision or legal concept has been retained, but the present statutory text should always be examined before applying an older precedent.
