What are the powers and functions of Special Executive Magistrates? | Explained

State governments can appoint Special Executive Magistrates to oversee designated regions or tasks. These officials exercise the same authority as Executive Magistrates under the 2023 BNSS, including maintaining public order, enforcing laws, and conducting inquiries. Their jurisdiction is limited to the specific areas or purposes assigned by the appointing government, and they operate under the same procedural rules as regular magistrates.
