Section 261 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, (BSA), 2023
It appears there is no Section 261 in the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA), as enacted. The Act primarily extends up to Section 119 in the publicly available version and deals extensively with the law of evidence. The references commonly go up to Section 120, and there isn’t any mention of Section 261 in authoritative sources(mha.gov.in).
However, Section 261 does appear in procedural statutes like the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), relating to warrant trials, which might explain the confusion.
✅ Summary:
Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023: No Section 261 exists; the Act currently ends much earlier.
CrPC: Section 261–273 relate to warrant trials—this belongs to criminal procedural law, not the BSA.
