Wanted an opinion from people involved with legal matters.

Does it handle more or less cases?

Does it reduce outdated laws?

Is it more clear in it’s framing, and leaves less room for interpretive errors by Judges?

Ipc and bns are the same. They’ve added more sections to it and of course are politically motivated to move away from colonial era laws. It’s annoying to say the name though. It’s a mouthful

I can say it’s one of the first steps to move away from the colonial mindset.

It’s like aasman se utare aur khajoor pe atke. Moved away from the colonial era and got stuck with a politically motivated law which targets people who speak against the ill strategies and policies of the government.

No real major change has been made in BNS. They have just renamed the code, and organised it differently. Only 9 offences were added (not new just defined separately like snatching & theft are separate now etc.) and 5 offences were removed (most of these were already decriminalised by the Courts).

But to be fair to them, if they really made any major changes, our justice system might have collapsed as the police & judges would not know what constitutes a crime and what does not 🤣.
