Recent legislative changes in India have led to the replacement of references to the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and Indian Evidence Act with new codes like Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and others. Punjab is set to decriminalize boiler regulations to facilitate business operations, with district magistrates taking on the role of adjudicating officers. Multiple High Courts, including Delhi and Kerala, have issued guidelines stating that criminal appeals filed after July 1, 2024, will be governed by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) instead of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), impacting ongoing cases and future appeals. These rulings clarify the transition period and procedures for appeals, ensuring consistency and adherence to the new legal framework in India.
