ABSTRACT

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), replaces the colonial-era CrPC and aims to modernize India’s criminal procedure by promoting faster, more efficient justice and stronger protection of citizen rights. This research examines whether BNSS brings real reform or simply rebrands old practices. It compares key areas like arrest procedures, use of technology, and time-bound trials, analyzing how well the BNSS balances state power with individual liberty. By looking at both the text and its practical context, the study explores if the new law truly meets constitutional values and improves everyday access to justice for the people of India.


Keywords: BNSS, CrPC, Transformation.
