The unconstitutional trinity— Part 1: Examining the unholy ‘ghost’ of BNSS

Of the new trinity that will lord over India’s criminal law landscape, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, replacing the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, has received the least attention, because procedure is an unholy ‘ghost’ not necessarily discernible to the layman.
