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.
