The School of Law (BIHER) organized a special lecture titled “From IPC to BNS: A Paradigm Shift in Criminal Justice” on April 30, 2025. The event aimed to shed light on the significant changes introduced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which replaces the colonial-era Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The lecture provided an in-depth analysis of the rationale behind the overhaul of India's criminal laws, emphasizing the move towards decolonization and the incorporation of indigenous legal principles. Discussions highlighted the structural and procedural transformations brought about by the BNS, including its impact on law enforcement practices, judicial processes, and the rights of the accused.

Attendees included law students, faculty members, and legal professionals, all of whom engaged in a dynamic Q&A session following the presentation. The event underscored BIHER's commitment to fostering a comprehensive understanding of contemporary legal reforms among its academic community.

This lecture is part of BIHER School of Law's ongoing efforts to keep its students and faculty abreast of pivotal developments in the legal landscape, ensuring they are well-equipped to navigate and contribute to India's evolving justice system.
