Legal Framework for Criminal Law in India

The Indian criminal law system is primarily governed by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) along with other special and local laws. It provides a full system of defining crimes, prescribing punishments, and ensuring justice through a structured judicial process. The list of criminal laws in India includes the following:

Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023: It replaces the Indian Penal Code and defines new crimes, new forms of punishment and corresponding legal measures. It would face all-emerging issues of this modern era of cybercrime, terrorism, and organised crime while maintaining the interests of the citizens by keeping justice and fairness in a system that delivers effectively for all of them.

Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023: It supersedes the Code of Criminal Procedure, streamlining the process of investigation, arrest, and trial. Efficiency and transparency are guaranteed while the rights of victims and the accused are protected.

Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023: It amends the Indian Evidence Act, focusing on admissibility, digital evidence, and witness protection. The act strengthens the framework for presenting reliable evidence and ensures that technological advancements are put to effective use.
