    Question

    The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 is a part of which of the following Lists under the Constitution of India?

    A.

    State List

    B.

    Union List

    C.

    Concurrent List

    D.

    Both State and Union List

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Concurrent List.

    Explanation:

    The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), deals with Criminal Procedure. Under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India:

    • Entry 2 of the Concurrent List (List III): Explicitly mentions "Criminal procedure, including all matters included in the Code of Criminal Procedure at the commencement of this Constitution."
    • Dual Authority: Because it falls under the Concurrent List, both the Parliament and the State Legislatures have the power to make laws regarding criminal procedure. This is why you often see state-specific amendments to various sections of the procedural code to suit local requirements, even though the primary Sanhita is a central legislation.
