A Critical Study of Offences against Public Morality under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023

Author(s) Reetu, Dr. Dharmendra Kumar Kumawat
Country India
Abstract An endeavor to reform an existing legal system requires a methodical and critical assessment of the rules, principles, and philosophies native to the existing system. With the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 to replace the Indian Penal Code, 1860, there is an impetus on the lawmakers to implement, by way of such assessment, meaningful and progressive changes directed towards enhancing the ability of the law to promote just, reasonable and equitable rules and practices. The present research paper is a critical review of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 that has been described as a significant change in the criminal justice system in India. Another major inquiry made in the study is whether the BNS is indeed a radical overhaul of criminal jurisprudence, or a restructuring of the current provisions. It particularly focuses on the introduction of new offences, reforms on punishment, change of definition of crimes and the implication on civil liberties and constitutional governance. As the law seeks to bring criminal law into the current times and reflect new types of crime, scholars have criticized the use of ambiguous terminology in some of the provisions, the possible exploitation of the concept of national security offences, and the continued existence of some of the legal systems of the colonial era in the new system. The research concludes that, although the BNS has a number of progressive reforms, the ultimate effects will rely on the judicial interpretation, institutionalized and efficient coordination with law enforcement agencies.
