This commentary provides a section-wise and practice-oriented exposition of the BNSS, highlighting legislative intent, procedural safeguards, and key departures from the CrPC regime. It covers crucial topics such as registration of offences, powers of police and magistrates, arrest and remand, bail provisions, compounding of offences, trial procedures, and sentencing mechanisms. Particular emphasis is placed on due process, protection of fundamental rights, and efficiency in criminal justice administration.
