New Criminal Laws In India 2024
India’s criminal justice system has undergone a historic transformation with the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, replacing the archaic Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act. These new laws address the colonial legacy, modernize the classification of crimes, streamline judicial procedures, and incorporate technological advancements in evidence. The reforms aim to deliver faster and fairer justice, enhance protection of individual rights, and better manage contemporary crimes, reflecting a significant leap towards a more just and efficient legal system in India.
