So, in 2024, a new justice system is underway in India with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita & the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. And while it seems like an upgrade with modernization and an integration of technology, what happens when the rubber hits the road? What could be the underlying flaws or issues with these new criminal laws? Is the compliance as thoughtful and overarching as it should be?
In this episode of CAM Radio’s Clear Cut, Senior Advocate Amit Desai explores whether these new criminal laws may be a pretense for the digital world, gaps in the new laws, when it comes to cybercrime, whether the legislations are geared up for the realities of a “phygital” world, the challenges in ensuring the authenticity of digital documents with the advent of burgeoning technology, like generative AI, why the broad and undefined scope of economic security may be an issue, why the aspect of trial-in-absentia may be an anathema to natural justice, the future of criminal justice in India and more.
