The legal fraternity in India, when dealing with criminal laws, traditionally refers to the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, along with any other relevant statutes. However, this will change from July 1, 2024 when the new criminal laws, passed in December 2023, come into effect.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, repeals the Indian Penal Code, 1860, addressing challenges like terrorism and organized crime with stricter punishments for serious offences.
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, repeals the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, refining the criminal procedure system and setting timelines to ensure timely justice.
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, repeals the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, updating laws to meet society's changing needs by recognizing electronic evidence as information produced or transmitted by devices or systems that can store or recover data.
