Introduction
On August 11, 2023, Union Home Minister Amit Shah tabled three legislation in the Lok Sabha with the goal of reforming India's criminal justice system. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bhartiya Sakshya Bill, and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita will replace the former Indian Penal Code (1860), Indian Evidence Act (1872), and Code of Criminal Procedure (1973), in that order.
A Parliamentary Standing Committee has been tasked with reviewing the three proposed statutes. The committee will conduct a thorough investigation and is expected to report its conclusions before the next legislative session.
The legislative amendments made to the Indian Penal Code, 1860—which will now be known as the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023—will be examined in this article. What follows shall refer to IPC and BNS, respectively, be used.
The essay would limit its scope to major modifications made to Indian penal law by thoroughly comparing sections from the IPC and BNS.
