India’s framework of law has been structured around the IPC since 1860, which is an exhaustive statute enacted during the British colonial period. As the social norms, technologies, and patterns of crimes change, the need for updating and revising this basic law started being felt on the increase. Reforms of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita are steps of this kind, comprehensive changes that are aimed at replacing the IPC. This comparative analysis emphasizes the key differences that exist between the two: the BNS and the IPC; it is mainly dependent upon significant changes and their potential influence.
Conclusion
“The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita” (BNS) is considered to be the largest modification India’s criminal law has ever witnessed—dealing with almost every criticism of and drawback with the Indian Penal Code. This is in simple language, contains elaborated definitions, with provisions of technological advancement, and is very sensitive towards the rights of the victims and their genders. When these new laws start coming into operation, they are likely to make a more current and relevant legal framework that is more able to satisfy the needs of modern Indian society.
