Agartala, September 10,2025: Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India has entered a transformative era of criminal justice with the introduction of New Criminal Laws viz three landmark legislations—the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) 2023.
These new laws are designed to make India’s criminal justice system more transparent, efficient, and citizen-friendly, replacing outdated colonial-era legislations.
To raise awareness about the reforms, a State-Level Exhibition on New Criminal Laws was inaugurated today at the Indoor Exhibition Hall, Hapania, Agartala. The event showcased how the laws will benefit ordinary citizens and modernize law enforcement practices.
A Major Leap in Criminal Justice Reform
The three new legislations are set to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act.
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023: Modernizes criminal definitions, ensures faster trials, and focuses on citizen protection.
- Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023: Streamlines procedures for investigation, trial, and bail with citizen-friendly provisions.
- Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) 2023: Emphasizes digital evidence, forensic science, and transparency in evidence collection.
Together, these reforms aim to improve the standard of justice delivery while strengthening accountability and trust in the legal system.
