Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) (IAST: Bhāratīya Nāgarik Surakśa Saṃhitā; lit. 'Indian Code of Civil Security '), is the main legislation on procedure for administration of substantive criminal law in India.The bill is to consolidate and amend the law relating to Criminal Procedure. It is an approach towards a change in the current Criminal Laws of the Country as the experience of several decades of Indian democracy calls for a comprehensive review of our criminal laws, including the code for Criminal Procedure, 1973 and adapt them by the contemporary needs and aspirations of the people.
