The Bar Council of India (BCI) has requested Bar Associations and State Bar Councils to refrain from agitations against the new criminal laws—The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). Despite receiving strong protests claiming these laws are more draconian than colonial-era laws and threaten fundamental rights, the BCI plans to discuss concerns with the Union Government. The BCI urges legal bodies to submit specific objections to facilitate dialogue and possible amendments, assuring the legal community of serious attention to these issues without the need for immediate protests.
