BNSS Section 463 — Warrant for levy of fine issued by a Court in any territory to which this Sanhita does not extend

Summary

If a criminal court in a place where this law does not apply orders someone to pay a fine, and that court sends a warrant to a district collector in a place where this law does apply, telling the collector to recover the fine as if it were unpaid land revenue, then that warrant is treated as if it were issued by a local court under this law. The rules for carrying out such a warrant under this law will then apply to it.

Official Text
