Published by Pritam Law House, this hardcover edition of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (Act No. 45 of 2023) presents the bare statutory text that replaced the Indian Penal Code on 1 July 2024. It includes all 358 original clauses, simplified formatting, and comparative references to corresponding IPC sections—designed for legal practitioners and judiciary aspirants adapting to the new framework.

🧠 Why It Matters (June–July 2025 Context):

India officially replaced IPC with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, on 1 July 2024—after it received presidential assent on 25 December 2023. This statute introduced 20 new offences, broadened punishments for certain crimes, added mandatory minimum sentences for 23 offences and instituted community service sentencing for six offences. Key changes include new provisions for organized crime, terrorism, financial fraud, and removal of sedition (now replaced by provisions addressing acts endangering India’s sovereignty).

For those transitioning to BNS, this hardcover edition is a practical and durable resource—comprehensive in coverage and precise in construction.
