Text as published by India Code for the Government of Uttar Pradesh, with amendments up to U.P. Act No. 6 of 2017.

Chapter VI (The Nyaya Panchayat), sections 42 to 94-A, is printed only as a heading with the official footnote "Chapter VI comprising sections 42 to 94-A Omitted by sec. 16 of U.P. Act No. 6 of 2017.", so those sections have no pages here.
