NEW DELHI, APR 19, 2024: IN order  to repeal archaic colonial laws and usher in legislations which are citizen centric and cater to the requirements of a vibrant democracy three  laws have been enacted to overhaul the criminal justice system in the country. The  legislations i.e. the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, replace the earlier criminal laws namely, the Indian Penal Code 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. As notified, these  criminal laws are to take effect from 1st July 2024.

To generate awareness about these  legislative enactments, particularly amongst the stakeholders and legal fraternity, the Ministry of Law and Justice is organising a Conference titled 'India's Progressive Path in the Administration of Criminal Justice System', at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, Janpath, New Delhi tomorrow i.e. 20th of April, 2024.

Attorney General for India, Tushar Mehta, Ld.  Solicitor General of India, Ajay Kumar Bhalla, Home Secretary, Government of India, among others.
