  • Abstract:
  • The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhitha (BNSS), 2023, represents a significant overhaul of India's criminal procedural laws, replacing the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973. This reform aims to modernize the justice system by integrating technology, enforcing stricter timelines, and enhancing victim rights. Key features include e-FIR and Zero FIR provisions, mandatory forensic investigations for serious crimes, time-bound trials, and victim-centric measures. While these changes promise a more efficient and transparent legal process, challenges such as infrastructural limitations, the need for extensive training, and privacy concerns must be addressed to ensure successful implementation.
