Section 6 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 lists four classes of Criminal Courts in every State: Courts of Session, Judicial Magistrates of the first class, Judicial Magistrates of the second class and Executive Magistrates. Metropolitan Magistrates were a separate class under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, but the Sanhita does not retain them. Juvenile Justice Boards and Family Courts are set up under other Acts.
