Delhi/Hyderabad, Aug 11 (Hydnow): Union Home Minister Amit Shah has introduced three new Bills in the Lok Sabha.  New Bills have been introduced in place of the IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act.  He recommended the standing committee discuss these bills further.

While introducing these Bills in Lok Sabha, today,  Amit Shah explained “Under this law, we are repealing laws like Sedition.” “From 1860 to 2023, the country’s criminal justice system functioned as per the laws made by the British.  With these three laws there will be a major change in the criminal justice system in the country, he said. 

“Under this Bill, we have set the goal that the conviction ratio has to be taken above 90 percent.  That is why, we have brought an important provision that the Sections which provide for 7 years or a greater jail term, under all those cases forensic team’s visit to the crime scene will be made compulsory, Amit Shah said.

The key bills include a new penal code against mob lynching, a death provision for the rape of minors, and a time-bound approval to prosecute civil servants.  

Offenses such as separatism and waging war against the country are defined as separate offenses.  A provision has been brought in to try absconding criminals such as Dawood Ibrahim in absentia.  the offense of sedition was covered by the Indian Penal Code (IPC) under Section 124A. (Hydnow)
