Noida, September 9 (Daily Kiran) : The district administration of Noida has issued a statement clarifying its position regarding the Indian National Security Code (BNSS) amidst growing questions about its role in recent orders. Officials confirmed that following the implementation of the police commissionerate system, all powers related to BNSS have been transferred to the police commissionerate. Consequently, the district magistrate will not issue any orders under BNSS or the previous Criminal Procedure Code.
In its statement, the administration emphasized that any orders involving the executive magistrate under BNSS are executed by those magistrates appointed within the police framework. Files concerning such matters do not come before the district magistrate, additional district magistrate, or sub-district magistrate. The administration noted that the police commissionerate has its own executive magistrates who independently handle the tasks assigned under BNSS.
Specifically addressing Section 130 of the BNSS, the district administration clarified that no orders have been issued by the district magistrate of Noida under this provision. This clarification comes in response to discussions circulating on social media regarding the administration’s involvement in a recent incident.
The administration stated that the police commissionerate system has granted various powers to the police concerning law and order matters. Since the introduction of BNSS, a new procedure has replaced the old Criminal Procedure Code in commissionerate districts, allowing the police to exercise these powers directly.
The district administration reiterated that actions taken by the police under BNSS should not be linked to the offices of the district magistrate, additional district magistrate, or sub-district magistrate. It is clear that such files do not reach these officials, and the police operate independently through the established procedures.
This statement aims to clarify the administration’s role amid ongoing discussions about its involvement in a case where a second-year LLB student, Akshat Tripathi, received a notice for a ₹500,000 bond for allegedly inciting protests against the government during a demonstration at Jantar Mantar. The notice was later withdrawn by the ACP 3 court as the matter gained traction on social media.
