LL.B. (Five Years) BNSS and CrPC Question Papers - Mumbai University 2026
One paper, two codes. This paper was set on the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) until 2024. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) replaced the CrPC on 1 July 2024, so since December 2024 the paper is set on the BNSS, along with the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 and the POCSO Act, 2012. Each paper below is marked BNSS or CrPC. The BNSS 60/40 papers of December 2024 and December 2025 were set for fifth-year students of the older 60:40 scheme. Students on the current syllabus, examined 75/25, reach Sem 9 from 2026-27; the BNSS 75/25 papers below belong to that syllabus and so far have been set for the LL.B. 3 Years course, which sits the same subject in Sem 5. Students repeating the paper from before the change (ATKT) are set the CrPC paper (60/40), most recently in April 2026. The CrPC papers are good practice for the BNSS as well, because most of its rules carried over under new section numbers. Our notes for this paper are written on the BNSS.
