Description

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), introduced on August 11, 2023, replaces the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 to modernize India’s criminal justice system. It revises bail provisions, broadens the use of electronic evidence, and enhances procedural efficiency. With a focus on speed, transparency, and accountability, BNSS aims to streamline investigations and improve access to justice.

Ratanlal & Dhirajlal: The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is a detailed, section-wise book on the BNSS which came into effect from 1 July 2024. The author has tried to be brief and lucid while explaining the new provisions introduced by the BNSS and highlighting the changes introduced in the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Comments after each section provide the corresponding section from the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and highlight the changes brought in along with relevant principles of law and judgments.
