Neosentience
Built for India’s new criminal law

India rewrote its criminal law. We taught an AI the difference.

On 1 July 2024 the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act were replaced after 160 years. Nyaya Sahayak translates between the old codes and the new ones — for police, lawyers, judiciary and law students, in English and 12 Indian languages.

The change

Three statutes. One overnight switch.

Every FIR, charge sheet and argument written since July 2024 has to use the new codes — while every case still in court, and every precedent ever cited, is written in the old ones. Both systems now run at once.

Indian Penal Code · IPC
BNS
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita — what is an offence, and its punishment
Code of Criminal Procedure · CrPC
BNSS
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita — how a case is investigated and tried
Indian Evidence Act · IEA
BSA
Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam — what counts as proof
What it does

More than a lookup table.

Built on a retrieval-augmented model trained on the full statutory corpus — so it reasons about a situation, not just a section number.

01

Translate old to new

Any IPC, CrPC or IEA section mapped to its BNS, BNSS or BSA equivalent, with every substantive change marked.

02

Read a whole incident

Describe a crime in plain language and get the applicable BNS sections plus the BNSS procedure to follow.

03

Draft statutory documents

Generates BNSS-compliant forms and notices — charge sheets, committal notices — filled from the case facts.

04

Cite the precedent

Surfaces prior judgments on the equivalent old section, with citation, so settled law is not lost in the switch.

05

Simulate the argument

Drafts arguments for either side and the likely outcomes — a sparring partner for case preparation.

06

Answer in 12 languages

Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu — and English.
