Which of the following changes has been introduced to ensure faster trials under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Video recording of statements.
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced the CrPC, introduces several reforms to expedite the judicial process. A key highlight is the mandatory video recording of statements and search-and-seizure procedures. By digitizing evidence and allowing for virtual testimonies, the law aims to prevent tampering, reduce the need for physical presence in court, and minimize procedural delays. This shift toward a "digital-first" approach is designed to ensure transparency and significantly speed up the conclusion of trials.
