With the enactment of three new criminal laws today, India has entirely redesigned its criminal justice system. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) was replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) by the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and the Indian Evidence Act by the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). In December 2023, the three legislation were approved by the legislature.
