ABSTRACT


This study explores the opinion of Advocates regarding the “Indian Penal Code (1860)”, with the newly proposed “Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023”. This Comparative Opinion Study employs a quantitative data collection through questionnaires from the currently practicing Advocate professionals in the District Court of Tiruvallur, Tiruvallur District. The study aims to reveal the significant differences in the Advocates' opinions regarding the effectiveness, clarity, and fairness of the replacement of the IPC. I conducted research using a 50-person sample size of currently practicing Advocates to explore the opinions. This research added to the existing papers by providing data on the advocates' perspective on the two legal frameworks. This study provides a unique perspective focusing on the views and opinions of advocates who engage in a critical part in shaping the justice delivery method. The results have implications for legal practitioners and scholars seeking to improve the Indian Criminal Justice System.
