The primary objective of criminal law is to maintain law and order, deter unlawful behavior, and ensure justice is served by holding offenders accountable for their actions. It seeks not only to penalize wrongdoers but also to protect the rights of victims and safeguard the broader interests of society.
Criminal law in India is governed by three major statutes:
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS):
This law replaces the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, and focuses on defining offenses and prescribing punishments.
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS):
This law replaces the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, and outlines the procedure for investigation, inquiry, and trial of criminal offenses.
Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA):
This law replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, and deals with the admissibility of evidence in criminal proceedings
