The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita

Mulla’s The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) provides an authoritative, practitioner-focused commentary on India’s revised criminal procedure framework (Act 46 of 2023), which supersedes the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Authored in the trusted Mulla tradition and with commentary by Senior Advocate Sanjay Vashishtha, this volume offers clause-by-clause analysis, legislative intent, and concise explanations of complex procedural changes. Key features include comparative charts that map CrPC provisions to BNSS sections, explanatory notes on clauses, corresponding sections of the old law, and comprehensive tables of new and repealed sections. The book also collects significant legal rulings, a detailed table of cases, and a subject index to facilitate rapid lookup during drafting, litigation and classroom instruction. Designed for immediate practical application, it addresses transitional provisions, policing and prosecutorial implications, and courtroom practice changes effective 1 July 2024. Published by Delhi Publishing Company, this single-volume reference equips practitioners, judicial officers, academics and students to interpret and apply the BNSS confidently during India’s legal transition.
