ABSTRACT
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha (BNS), has the latest reform included in the Legal framework of the Criminal Justice System in India and it replaces the earlier Indian Penal Code (IPC) providing an up-to-date resolution to today’s problems. In this article, we have worked on the significant differences that the BNS provides against the IPC, notably the harsher measures taken against extreme crimes and the establishment of mandatory minimum sentences for such crimes. The BNS, like other legal enactments all over the globe, aims to prevent crime through various means. The objective of the article is to provide a comparison of the new and the old criminal law in terms of the provisions of punishments. While equally contrasting how different schools of thought regarding punishment have been fused in the newly crafted criminal law's, framework aimed at providing punishment and its use on crime rate control in the society.
