Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha BNSS

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is the principal framework for procedure under India’s substantive criminal law. On 25 December 2023, the BNSS (Second) Sanhita Bill, 2023 received the President’s assent, marking significant CrPC revisions and repeals. The BNSS consolidates and simplifies the law by repealing and amending numerous CrPC provisions.

Key changes focus on consolidation and simplification, strengthening the rights of the accused—such as the right to a lawyer, the right to remain silent, and the right to a fair trial—and improving the efficiency of the criminal justice system by streamlining procedures and reducing delays.
