📄 Abstract
The evolution of criminal laws reflects societal shifts and the need to adapt to contemporary challenges. In India, the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, alongside the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023, marks a significant move away from colonial-era laws, particularly the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860. The new criminal laws are critically examined in this essay, with an emphasis on victim-centric justice and the reforms meant to address contemporary crimes. With an emphasis on proportionality in sentencing, it examines the effects of removing antiquated clauses like sedition and adding provisions for cybercrimes. The socio-legal impact and implementation challenges are also examined in the analysis. An analysis of the reforms' wider significance in creating a more inclusive and equitable criminal justice system in India is included in the article's conclusion.
