About this area of law

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) of 1973, bringing significant changes to arrest procedures, bail conditions, trial timelines, and the rights of the accused and victims. Key reforms include a 60-day deadline for charge-sheet filing, stricter timelines for trial courts, and expanded provisions for electronic evidence. Our guides explain what changed, what stayed the same, and how the BNSS affects ongoing and new criminal cases.
