In cases tried by the Court of Sessions or a Chief Judicial Magistrate, the Court or such Magistrate,…

Section 365 directs the Court of Session or Chief Judicial Magistrate to forward the finding and sentence, if any, to the District Magistrate within whose local jurisdiction the trial was held. It is not a direction to send that copy instead to the investigating police station, Superintendent of Police or High Court. Other duties to supply judgments or records arise under their own provisions.

Current law: BNSS section 406 retains this forwarding requirement and recipient. Qualifying pending proceedings remain under the former Code by section 531.
