Which Acts are covered?
IPC and BNS, CrPC and BNSS, the Evidence Act and BSA, and articles of the Constitution.
Does it show the section's text?
Not yet. It shows the section's title, its old or new equivalent, and what the courts have said about it.
Does it check which code applies?
In Check a draft, Misaal flags a pairing of old and new sections that looks wrong, and a code that doesn't fit the date of the offence. Which law applies is for you to decide.
