Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation the successful implementation of three new criminal laws today (December 3, 2024) in Chandigarh.
The three laws are: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam
These laws were conceptualised to replace colonial-era laws carried on post-independence and to reform the judicial system. The theme of the programme is “Secure Society, Developed India: From Punishment to Justice”.
The new criminal laws, implemented nationwide on July 1, aim to make India’s legal system more transparent, efficient, and adaptable to the needs of contemporary society.
The reforms represent an overhaul of India’s criminal justice system, bringing in new frameworks to tackle modern-day challenges such as cybercrime, and organised crime and ensuring justice for victims of various offences.
The programme will reportedly showcase the application of these laws, demonstrating how they are reshaping the criminal justice landscape. A live demonstration will also be held, simulating a crime scene investigation where the new laws will be put into action.
