Act Replacing Code of Criminal Procedure 1973
The legal landscape in India has undergone significant reforms, with several colonial-era laws being replaced by new legislation.
The question asks to identify the specific act that replaces the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. This procedure governs the day-to-day investigation of crime and trial of criminal cases.
The legislation enacted to replace the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. This new act aims to modernise and consolidate provisions related to criminal procedure.
For context, the other options represent replacements for different foundational laws:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaces the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC).
- Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
Therefore, the correct act replacing the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
