Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (Offences and Penlities)

 ......................................................................................................................................
Description
The newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS for short) has repealed and replaced the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Numerous amendments were made in the IPC from time to time to keep pace with the times. However, the basic framework being with the mindset of a ruler trying to maximise exploitation of the people and significant developments taking place since independence sociologically and scientifically, the provisions of the IPC increasingly required a thorough overhaul so as to achieve goals set by the Constitution and fulfil the aspirations of the people. Suggestions of 18 States, 6 Union Territories, the Supreme Court, 16 High Courts, 5 Judicial Academies, 22 Law Universities, 142 Members of Parliament, around 270 MLAs and the public on the new laws have been taken into consideration. Consultations were held for four years.
