In the bustling heart of India’s capital city, New Delhi, July 1st marked not just another day, but the dawn of a new era in India’s legal landscape. As the clock struck midnight, new criminal laws took effect across the nation, promising to reshape the judiciary and deliver justice in a more modern and equitable manner.
The Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) are the names of these new laws, which were passed by voice vote in both houses of Parliament last year. They aim to replace the outdated British-era Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act, respectively.
