A Historic Legal Shift
In December 2023, India made a bold move by replacing its colonial-era criminal laws with a modern, Indianised framework. The IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act were officially repealed and replaced with:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023
- Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023
- Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023
These laws came into effect on 1st July 2024, marking a significant turning point in Indian criminal jurisprudence.
