Today is July 1. The new criminal law is coming into force in the country from today. This new law brought by the central government will now be implemented from our local police station to the Supreme Court. We are throwing away another 164-year-old canopy of slavery. To be precise, the Indian Penal Code implemented by the British in India in 1860 is now in the dustbin
Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS) will replace IPC, Bharatiya Civil Safety Code (BNSS) will replace CrPC and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) will replace Indian Evidence Act.

Since its implementation in India has been delayed, the new law is changing the way some people can post and comment on social media.
500 rupees and no case if the vehicle does not stop after causing the accident. 10 years rigorous imprisonment.Severe punishment under section 69 for those who engage in sexual intercourse through fraud or promise of marriage. Presently, cases of rape by promise of marriage were weakened due to Supreme Court rulings. Now the game will change. If the consent of the woman is obtained by giving these gifts in any way and then cheating, the punishment is from 10 years to life imprisonment. So there is no point in saying that there is consent of the woman.
Imprisonment up to 7 years if a person dies due to negligence. Even in a car accident, there is no police station bail if you cause death by careless driving. to jail The present imprisonment of 2 kollam has been changed to 7 kollam.

Treason was removed. No more sedition section. But let the traitors come to rejoice… Activities against the country, coup d’état, armed rebellion and struggle, conspiracies against the country can be jailed for up to 10 years. No bail
The new law empowers courts to impose sentences without parole. At the time of sentencing, the judge can impose a sentence of 10 years, 15 years without parole… Another important change is that the minimum sentence will be ensured in all cases. The minimum fine is Rs 100 and the maximum fine is Rs 10 lakh. The most remarkable thing about the new law is that the investigation, trial and sentencing will take place within the time limit. Both victims and witnesses are protected under the law.
Forensic examination is mandatory in all cases with a sentence of 7 years or more. Here too, the police are handcuffing the case without overturning it. The entire investigation conducted by the police should be videotaped. It should not be edited or modified later. With this, the money of the police will be reduced and bribery will end.
Henceforth, registration of complaints and further action will be as per the new law. All previous offenses will be dealt with as per current law. All the proceedings in the cases registered now shall be completed as per existing law. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which replaces the IPC, places great emphasis on preventing crimes against women and children. While there were 511 sections in the old IPC, it has been reduced to 358 sections in the BNS.
A new Department of Social Services was also included. Those who are accused in minor cases cannot be exonerated without performing community service. Digital evidence will be accepted in the new law if there was no room for digital evidence in the Indian Evidence Act earlier. All digital interactions including video, WhatsApp, photo, voice message, mobile and computers will be recorded as evidence.
The IPC criminalises acts such as rape, molestation, stalking and insulting the dignity of a woman. BNS maintains these conditions. In case of gang-rape, the threshold for classifying the victim as major is increased from 16 to 18.
