About The Seminar

The Indian Home Ministry announced the enactment and implementation of three new criminal laws, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, with effect from July 1, 2024. These Sanhita repeal the British-era Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively. The new laws overhaul the Indian criminal justice system. They aim to revamp and replace the dated colonial laws, by considering implementation of justice through a victim centric approach, increasing focus on national security and introducing digital / electronic evidence reviews, making them priorities of these laws.
