Report No. 40
33. Section 1.- In as much as the Code also does not extend to the State of Jammu & Kashmir, the territorial extent of the provisions of the 1955-Act will remain unaltered. We would, however, recommend that the Jammu & Kashmir Code of Criminal Procedure should be brought into line with the Indian Code by making similar amendments.
34. Section 2.- For the reasons already indicated1, the definition of "confinement in a prison" will be replaced by a definition of "detained", the definition of "prison" will be slightly modified and the definition of "State Government" will be omitted. Here again, a formal delegation of powers and functions under the new provisions to the Administrators of all the Union territories under Article 239 of the Constitution will be necessary2.
