Section 122: Certain Transfers To Be Null And Void

The corresponding section in the BNSS that replaces the CRPC section you mentioned is:

Section 135

Code: Section 135 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS)

Explanation:

This section deals with the certain transfers to be null and void of property subject to an order under Section 117 (regarding attachment of property) or a notice under Section 119 (regarding notice to furnish security for good behavior) of the BNSS. It states that if such property is transferred after the order or notice is issued, the transfer is ignored for the purposes of proceedings under this chapter. Furthermore, if the property is subsequently forfeited to the Central Government under Section 120, the transfer is deemed to be null and void.

Illustration:

Imagine a person is issued a notice under Section 119 of the BNSS to furnish security for good behavior. After receiving the notice, they transfer their property to another person. According to Section 135, this transfer will be ignored for the purposes of the proceedings under this chapter. If the property is later forfeited to the Central Government under Section 120, the transfer will be deemed to be null and void.
