Territorial divisions
AI Assist
Summary
States are organised into sessions divisions, and each sessions division is treated as a district for the purposes of this Code. Metropolitan areas count as a separate sessions division and district. The State Government, after consulting the High Court, may change the number or boundaries of divisions and districts and may create or alter sub divisions.
Example
Priya runs a small shop in a metropolitan area where a theft occurs. Her complaint will be handled in that separate sessions division and district. If the State Government later alters district boundaries after consulting the High Court, her case may be moved to the newly defined district or sessions division.
