Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita To Replace Indian Penal Code: Changes In New Law
Three crucial bills that would replace India's colonial-era criminal laws were passed in the Lok Sabha today, virtually in the absence of the Opposition. The Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023, will replace the Indian Penal Code of 1860, Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) of 1973 and Indian Evidence Act, of 1872. The laws will be more victim-centric, the Centre said. NDTV's Neeta Sharma reports.
