- Abstract
The Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill 2023 (BNS), presented in the Lok Sabha, has replaced the prevailing Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) w.e.f. 1st July, 2024. This replacement reflects an intention to update and modernize the existing legal framework. In this critical analysis, doctrinal research methodology is characterized by an exhaustive review of pertinent existing literature related to the changes in the code in regards to the poison. This approach empowers us to craft substantiated arguments and arrive at well-informed conclusions based on a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter gleaned from the available body of literature. The analysis highlights significant improvements over the previous legal code, especially in toxicology-related laws. It successfully simplifies legal provisions while imposing stricter regulations and enhanced penalties, indicating a modernized approach that is expected to significantly impact poisoningrelated crimes.
