ABSTRACT


The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (which seeks to replace the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (which seeks to replace the CrPC), and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (which seeks to replace the IPC) are the three bills that Home Minister Sri. Amit Shah introduced on August 11, 2023. During the winter session of December 2023, both houses of parliament passed these laws. The goal seems to be to significantly alter the criminal justice system in India in order to align it more effectively with the requirements and ideals of modern Indian society.
