Abstract
Criminal law is the branch of law that must evolve to be in tandem with the changes and development of the society. A static law cannot serve the required exigencies in the society. Recently, with the evolving societal values, the underpinnings of criminal law, rooted in a British legacy have been overhauled and transformed completely. The Indian legal framework has been modernized and Indianized to enhance its efficiency and to navigate towards a potent justice system with the inculcation of technology in law enforcement and other judicial processes along with transformative crime controlling mechanism. Moreover, a reformative approach of crime prevention through new criminal laws also reflects a paradigm shift in reshaping the Indian criminal justice system. This paper is an attempt to delve into comprehensive analysis of the new criminal laws (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita,2023, Bharataiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,2023, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam,2023) and its implications to foster a just society.
