Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): The New Era of Indian Criminal Law Reform
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was introduced to replace the outdated Indian Penal Code (IPC). The IPC dates back to the British period. The aim of replacing the IPC was to decolonise the criminal laws of the British period.
However, the BNS was criticised for its significant
similarity with Section 498A of the IPC, without consideration for practical
application. The court urged the Union Government to re-examine the BNS. This
happened right after Justice D.Y. Chandrachud praised the BNS for the law.
