This query is : Resolved
As per A.P.amendment, Sec.354 IPC is trialble by Court of Sessions and the punishment is five years and as such bail is granted by Court of Sessions. But due to recent central amendment, the said offence is triable by Magistrate. As such, my doubt is WITHOUT FURTHER AMENDMENT BY A.P. STATE GOVERNMENT, does the Magistrate Courts can trial and grant the bail?

If after the central amendment there is no subsequent amendment by state fo A.P. then central amendment is binding in your state.
