India has recently introduced three groundbreaking criminal laws to replace colonial-era statutes and enhance the justice system. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) streamlines criminal offenses, reducing sections from 511 to 358, and introduces new offenses related to deceit. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) focuses on procedural aspects for efficiency and fairness in criminal proceedings. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) modernizes rules governing evidence presentation and evaluation. These laws signify a significant step toward a more just and efficient criminal justice system in India. The recent changes in India’s criminal laws were necessary for several reasons. First, the colonial-era statutes, such as the Indian Penal Code (IPC), were outdated and didn’t adequately address contemporary challenges. Streamlining these laws through the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was essential to align with modern legal requirements. Second, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) focuses on procedural aspects, aiming to enhance efficiency and fairness in criminal proceedings. Simplifying procedures ensures quicker justice delivery and reduces unnecessary delays. Lastly, the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) replaces the Indian Evidence Act, updating rules related to evidence presentation and evaluation. Modernizing evidence standards improves the quality of legal proceedings.
