<h1>New Law Permits Recording Witness Depositions Without Absconding Accused Under Section 335 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023.</h1> Section 335 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, allows courts to record witness depositions in the absence of an accused who has absconded and is unlikely to be arrested soon. These depositions can be used as evidence if the accused is later apprehended and the witness is unavailable due to death, incapacity, or other valid reasons. Additionally, if an unknown person commits a serious crime, the High Court or Sessions Judge may instruct a Magistrate to investigate and record witness statements, which can later be used against any identified accused under similar conditions of witness unavailability.
