    Study Notes

    Correspondence Table: BNS vs IPC

    • The Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 introduces a streamlined structure mirroring the Indian Penal Code (IPC) 1860 by redefining titles and sections.
    • BNS's Section 1 includes six subsections corresponding to five sections in IPC, but lacks separate headings. IPC specifies the extent of its operation, which BNS does not.
    • The commencement date for the BNS is delegated to the Central Government, a new feature absent in the IPC.
    • BNS replaces the term "Code" with "Sanhita" consistently, maintaining the essence of reference throughout.
    • Section 1(4) addresses the punishment for offences committed beyond India yet tried within; language modifications include changing "Indian laws" to "law" and adding specificity for current enforcement.
    • Section 1(5) incorporates provisions for extraterritorial offences, with "any place outside India" replacing "Uganda" in examples.
    • Section 1(6) reiterates provisions from IPC regarding certain laws remaining unaffected by the new Act.

    Definitions and Organization

    • Definitions in the IPC are dispersed across independent sections from 8 to 52A in Chapter II, making quick reference cumbersome.
    • BNS consolidates these definitions in Section 2, organized alphabetically for easier accessibility and clarity.
