India’s legislative landscape has undergone a significant transformation with the recent enactment of three comprehensive criminal statutes: the Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita (BNS), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita (BNSS), and the Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Adhiniyam (BSA). Promulgated in December 2023, these statutes mark a historic departure from the long-standing Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act (IEA).
