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
Case-law articles on IPC2BNS are AI-assisted drafts, generated with search-grounded tooling anchored to primary legal sources. We tell you this plainly. Specifically:
- Case-law analyses are anchored to the published judgment of the cited case and to official sources such as Supreme Court records, indiankanoon.org and reported citations.
- Drafts are produced with an AI writing system instructed to keep claims traceable to those sources; the founder monitors quality on a sampled basis and corrects flagged pages promptly.
- 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 founder, Avneet Kumar Singla.
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. AI-Assisted Drafting (Search-Grounded)
Drafts are produced with a search-grounded AI writing system anchored to the cited Bare Act provision and judgment. The tooling is instructed to keep every factual claim traceable to those primary sources rather than inventing detail. Case-law articles on this site are AI-generated drafts, and we disclose this openly rather than presenting them as individually hand-written.
4. Source Anchoring & Spot Checks
Section mappings (the converter data) are curated manually against the official Bare Act. For case-law articles, the founder monitors output quality on a sampled basis and treats any reader-flagged page as a priority. We do not claim that a human reads every automated draft line-by-line before it goes live.
5. Publication
Articles are published under the byline of Avneet Kumar Singla (CA Inter), the site's founder, and indexed with structured metadata (Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList JSON-LD) for accurate search-engine attribution. Static pages and the converter data are maintained directly by the founder.
6. Post-Publication Corrections
When a section is amended, a judgment is overruled, or a reader reports an error, the page is corrected and material changes are noted. Because case-law drafts are AI-assisted, reader corrections are an important part of how we keep the site accurate — please report anything that looks wrong via [email protected].
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.

We aim for accuracy but errors can occur — especially in AI-assisted drafts. Here is how we handle corrections:

- We acknowledge correction requests within 24-48 working hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is IPC2BNS content produced?+
Case-law articles are AI-assisted drafts. They are generated with a search-grounded writing system anchored to primary sources — the BNS / BNSS / BSA Bare Acts and the published judgment in question — and published under our collective editorial byline. The team monitors quality on a sampled basis and corrects pages on report; we do not claim that a human reads every automated draft before it goes live. Our IPC↔BNS section mappings, by contrast, are human-curated directly from the official Bare Act.
How do you ensure accuracy?+
The drafting system is anchored to the actual judgment text or Bare Act provision, and is instructed to keep claims traceable to those sources rather than inventing detail. Because case-law drafts are AI-generated, errors are still possible — so reader corrections are a core part of our process. If you spot a mistake, report it and we will fix it promptly. For anything you intend to rely on, always cross-check against the current Bare Act and a qualified advocate.
What if I spot an error?+
Email us at [email protected] 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?+
IPC2BNS is an independent, one-person publication by its founder, Avneet Kumar Singla (CA Intermediate, ICAI). He builds the tools and checks every section mapping against the official Bare Acts; explainers are AI-assisted drafts that he reviews before publishing. It is not a multi-person newsroom — we are transparent about that.
