The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) (IAST: Bhāratīya Nāgarik Surakśa Saṃhitā; lit. 'Indian Citizen Safety Code '), is the main legislation on procedure for administration of substantive criminal law in India.[1][2][3] The bill is to consolidate and amend the law relating to Criminal Procedure.[4] 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.
