Q. What is the proposed new name for the legal code for India, replacing Indian Penal Code (IPC)?
Answer: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
Notes: The proposed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, intended to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), omits the previously controversial IPC Section 377, which was used to criminalize homosexual acts until its 2018 Supreme Court reading down. While this omission decriminalizes homosexual sex, it raises concerns that adult male victims of sexual assault could have limited legal recourse under the new law.
