HISTORICAL RELEVANCE AND LEGISLATIVE INTENTION BEHIND SECTIONS 275 TO 276C OF BHARTIYA NYAYA SANHITA (BNS)

Author(s) Poorti Sharma
Country India
Abstract This research paper examines the historical context and legislative intent underpinning Sections 275 to 276C of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). These provisions, dealing with offenses related to causing death or grievous injury through negligence or culpable acts, represent a significant shift in the Indian penal framework. The study traces the evolution of these sections from earlier penal codes, highlighting the socio-legal imperatives that prompted their formulation. Emphasis is placed on legislative debates, policy considerations, and judicial interpretations that shaped the scope and application of these provisions. The analysis reveals the legislature’s intent to balance deterrence with fairness by categorizing varying degrees of culpability and providing differentiated punishments. The research also explores how these sections align with international criminal law trends and respond to contemporary challenges in criminal jurisprudence, such as medical negligence and road safety. By integrating doctrinal analysis with historical inquiry, the paper elucidates the rationale behind the codification of Sections 275 to 276C and their potential impact on criminal justice administration in India. The findings underscore the importance of these provisions in enhancing legal clarity, promoting accountability, and protecting victims’ rights, thereby reinforcing the foundational objectives of the BNS. The study concludes with recommendations for judicial interpretation and legislative refinement to ensure effective enforcement and safeguard constitutional principles.
Keywords Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, Sections 275-276C, legislative intent, historical relevance, criminal negligence.
