Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (CrPC)
The Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) 1973, has been replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, heralding a new era in the administration of criminal justice in India. Enacted on December 25, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita serves as the procedural law governing criminal proceedings, aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency, and fairness in the justice system. Like its predecessor, it delineates the processes followed by law enforcement agencies, courts, and stakeholders during investigation, trial, and sentencing phases. With its comprehensive provisions, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita ensures the protection of rights and interests of all parties involved in criminal cases. Enforced from July 1, 2024, it reflects India’s commitment to evolving legal frameworks that uphold the principles of justice and safeguard the rights of its citizens.
