1. Topic Selection
Topics are drawn from (a) the BNS 2023 / BNSS 2023 / BSA 2023 Bare Acts, and (b) a curated database of landmark Supreme Court and reported High Court judgments on Indian criminal law.
Editorial Standards & Methodology
How IPC2BNS researches, writes, AI-assists, reviews, cites, and corrects content. We publish this openly because trust in a legal publisher starts with transparency.
Methodology Disclosure
Every article on IPC2BNS is researched against primary legal sources and reviewed by an editor before publication. Specifically:
- Case-law analyses are anchored to the published judgment of the cited case, sourced from official Supreme Court records, indiankanoon.org and SCC citations.
- Drafts are prepared with modern assisted-writing tools and verified line-by-line by an editor against the primary sources before publication.
- IPC↔BNS section mappings (the converter data) are curated manually against the official Bare Act of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.
- Static pages (About, Privacy, Terms, this page) are written and maintained by the Editorial Team.
We document our process here because readers deserve to know how the content they rely on is produced and verified.
Our Content Pipeline
2. Source Reading
Our editorial researchers read the underlying primary source — the relevant Bare Act provision and the published judgment (typically from indiankanoon.org, SCC Online citations, or the official Supreme Court website).
3. Research & Drafting
Initial drafts are prepared using modern research tools, including assisted-writing software anchored to the cited judgment. The tooling acts as a research assistant — every factual claim must be traceable to the source materials gathered in step 2.
4. Editorial Review
Every draft is reviewed by a member of the Nyaya Yantra Editorial Team before publication. We verify case names, section numbers, citation accuracy, dates, and substantive holdings against the primary sources. Drafts that cannot be verified are not published.
5. Publication
Approved articles are published under the collective byline 'Nyaya Yantra Editorial Team' and indexed with structured metadata (Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList JSON-LD) for accurate search-engine attribution.
6. Post-Publication Updates
When a section is amended, a judgment is overruled, or a reader reports an error, the page is updated and material corrections are noted. We encourage readers to report inaccuracies via support@nyayayantra.in.
Sources & Citations
We cite the following types of sources, in order of preference:
- Primary statutes — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023, Indian Penal Code 1860 as published in the Gazette of India.
- Reported judgments — Supreme Court of India decisions and notable High Court decisions, cited by case name and year (e.g., Lalita Kumari v. Govt. of U.P. (2014)).
- Public legal databases — indiankanoon.org, judis.nic.in, official Supreme Court website for verification.
- Government notifications — Ministry of Law and Justice notifications for amendments and rules.
Corrections Policy
We aim for accuracy but errors can occur — especially in AI-assisted drafts. Here is how we handle corrections:
- Spot an error? Email support@nyayayantra.in with the page URL and the issue.
- We acknowledge correction requests within 24-48 working hours.
- Substantive corrections are reflected promptly. Minor edits (typos, formatting) are made silently.
- For factual changes to a case-law page, we note the correction at the bottom of the page when material.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not provide individual legal advice. Always consult a qualified advocate for proceedings.
- We do not publish editorial opinion, partisan commentary, or speculation about pending cases.
- We do not accept paid placements or sponsored articles disguised as editorial content. Affiliate links are disclosed (see Affiliate Disclosure).
- We do not publish content scraped from other sources without independent verification and attribution.
- We do not remove published pages to suppress information — corrections are appended, not silently deleted.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is IPC2BNS content produced?+
Every article is researched against primary sources — the BNS / BNSS / BSA Bare Acts and the published judgment in question. Initial drafts are prepared with the help of modern assisted-writing tools, and every draft is then verified by an editor against the cited source before publication. Articles that cannot be verified are not published. Our IPC↔BNS section mappings are human-curated directly from the official Bare Act.
How do you ensure accuracy?+
Two layers of accuracy control. First, our drafting process is anchored to the actual judgment text or Bare Act provision — claims that drift from the source are flagged. Second, an editor manually reads every draft and confirms case names, section numbers, dates, citations, and substantive holdings against the primary sources. Even so, errors are possible — please report any you find.
What if I spot an error?+
Email us at support@nyayayantra.in with the page URL, the specific error, and (if possible) a citation to the correct authority. We acknowledge corrections within 24-48 working hours and update the page promptly. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected page.
Do you publish original opinions or only summaries?+
IPC2BNS publishes explanatory summaries of statutory provisions and judicial holdings, plus practical guides for citizens and law students. We do not publish editorial opinion pieces, partisan commentary, or speculation about pending matters. We are an educational reference, not a current-affairs outlet.
How are sources cited?+
Statutes are cited by their section number and Act (e.g., 'Section 103, BNS 2023'). Judgments are cited by case name and year (e.g., 'Bachan Singh v. State of Punjab (1980)'). Where useful, we link directly to the corresponding /section/ipc-XXX page on our site or to the public source.
Who reviews the content?+
The Nyaya Yantra Editorial Team — a small group of legal researchers and writers. The team operates the four-site network including IPC2BNS, ensuring consistent editorial standards across all publications.
