Criminal Law in Practice: The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Explained Through Cases
<p>Follow a junior associate at a Delhi criminal law chamber as she works through real-world matters under India's new criminal code, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. Across five story-driven lessons, you'll learn what actually changed when the BNS replaced the Indian Penal Code on 1 July 2024 — the consolidation from 511 to 358 sections, new offences like organised crime and terrorism written directly into the substantive code, and community service as a new sentencing option — before applying verified BNS provisions to realistic fact patterns covering theft, assault and hurt, and a case that straddles the 1 July 2024 transition date. Built for Indian law students who want to understand the new criminal codes the way practising lawyers actually use them: through cases, not just bare text.</p>
