CRPC, IPC and Evidence Act, the government has made some significant changes in these three laws and put across three new laws in the Indian Parliament. The parliament committee of the Home Ministry is going through it. In sometime these laws will be passed and on the basis of these laws our country’s new criminal justice system will begin.”

Meanwhile, a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs will be held today in the national capital to consider and adopt the following draft reports on ‘The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023’, ‘The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023’ and ‘The Bharatiya Sakshya Bill 2023’.
