Cyberabad records first property attachment under BNSS in multi-crore fraud case
The case pertains to an employee of a private company who in collusion with other accused manipulated invoices and freight charges to siphon off large sums of money. The misappropriated funds were routed through the bank accounts of relatives and friends and used to acquire multiple immovable assets in Andhra Pradesh.
A total of 14 acres of land located in Kalagara, Vissannapet, and Chandrupatla villages of Vissannapeta mandal, NTR District, have been ordered for attachment.
The order is a step forward in the enforcement of economic offences under the BNSS, empowering law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to ensure that properties acquired through cheating, fraud, and misappropriation are frozen to protect victims' interests and prevent concealment or alienation.

HC: Court can't take cognisance of PMLA case without hearing accused
Calcutta HC KOLKATA: A court cannot take cognisance of a case under Prevention of Money Laundering Act without hearing the accused, as required under the BNSS, Calcutta HC on Friday held, quashing proceedings under PMLA against three accused. Tutu Ghosh, Bipin Kumar Kedia, and Anil Kumar Jain were accused of offences under sections 3 and 4 (money laundering), read with section 70 of PMLA (offences by companies and their officials). They approached the HC, contending the PMLA judge took cognisance of the offences in violation of the first proviso to BNSS section 223, as no opportunity of hearing was given to any of them before such cognisance was taken. Senior counsel appearing for the accused argued that BNSS has introduced a provision requiring an opportunity of hearing for the accused prior to the taking of cognisance, and that denial of such an opportunity amounts to a violation of fundamental rights.

Witness protection scheme implemented: Saha
1 2 Agartala: CM Manik Saha on Sunday announced that the state govt has implemented a witness protection scheme to ensure the safety and cooperation of witnesses, a critical aspect in the delivery of justice, reports Biswendu Bhattacharjee. Addressing a workshop of three criminal laws here Saha said the initiative is part of the state's commitment to effectively implement the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), which came into force from July 1, 2024. "These laws are a testament to the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah . They reflect a shift from colonial-era frameworks towards a justice-driven, technology-enabled system that is citizen-centric, victim-friendly and time-bound," he said. He noted that new offences such as terrorism, mob lynching, and organised crime have been incorporated, which were previously missing from the legal framework. Moreover, the new laws provide stricter penalties for crimes against women and children, ensuring faster and more transparent justice. Recalling a meeting chaired by Shah in Guwahati on March 16, 2025, the CM said discussions were held with all northeastern states to monitor the preparedness for implementing these laws.

Tripura CM Manik Saha bats for better implementation of new criminal laws, hopes it will push up conviction rate
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha Sunday described the three new criminal laws – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) – as victim-friendly. He expressed hope that the better implementation of these three laws would push up the conviction rate in the state. 'We have seen that these are friendly Acts. To implement criminal laws, the stakeholders are required to work in coordination and benefit the common people. I urge you all to cooperate with each other,' CM Saha said while addressing a workshop on 'New Criminal Laws and NDPS Act' held for legal practitioners, the police, and administrative officers at Pragya Bhavan in Agartala. 'I think this workshop is a step in this direction. Awareness is very important. People don't know about that. But every person should know these laws, and for this, I think, awareness campaigns should be done vigorously,' he added. 'These laws reflect a victim-friendly, technology-driven, and time-bound approach to justice delivery… The FIR (First Information Report) can be filed from anywhere, any part of the country, or across the state without being physically present in the police station and irrespective of the jurisdiction. The victims are entitled to have a free copy of their FIRs. Victims are to be informed about the status of their cases every 90 days…' said CM Saha.
