Course introduction:

In 2020,  the Government of India embarked on an ambitious exercise of reforming the Criminal Justice System. On 11th August 2023, three bills titled Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023 seeking to repeal and replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act (IEA), 1872 respectively, were introduced in the Parliament. These laws came into force on 1st July, 2024. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita represents a paradigm shift in India's approach to criminal law, aiming to make justice delivery more effective, efficient, and aligned with the needs of contemporary society. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the BNS, its structure, key provisions, and its significance in India's criminal justice framework.
