Abstract
This paper examines the poor implementation of rape laws in India, particularly focusing on the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and landmark judgments such as Bodhisattwa Gautam v. Subhra Chakraborty (BNS) and State of Punjab v. Gurmit Singh (BNSS). Despite progressive legal frameworks and judicial interventions, India continues to witness systemic failures in implementing rape laws, which contribute to delayed justice, victim intimidation, and low conviction rates. This paper explores the existing legal structure, its shortcomings in execution, and the reforms needed to bridge the gap between legislation and practice.
