Certificate Course on Practice and Procedure in New Criminal Laws

The good of the people is the greatest law. — Cicero

ABOUT THE COURSE

Criminal law is the bedrock of a civilized society. It safeguards individuals and communities by defining acts that cause harm and outlining the consequences for such actions. In 2023, the parliament passed three new criminal laws namely The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023 (BSB), to replace the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (IEA), respectively.  These Bills shall come effect from 1st July, 2024 and seek to modernise the current legal framework and overhaul the criminal justice system.
