Half of bills passed by 17th Lok Sabha discussed for less than two hours each: Report

In a significant development, the Lok Sabha passed three bills to replace colonial-era criminal laws, including the Indian Penal Code-1860 and the Code of Criminal Procedure Act-1898. Proposed by Home Minister Amit Shah, these bills aim to establish a justice system rooted in Indian philosophy. Shah emphasized the elimination of colonial symbols and the introduction of a trial in absentia provision. The bills garnered approval despite the absence of 97 suspended Opposition MPs, marking a transformative step toward a more efficient and just legal framework. #LokSabha #CriminalLawReform #JusticeSystem #AmitShah #IndianLegalSystem #TrialInAbsentia #LegalReform ~HT.97~PR.282~ED.101~
