Amit Shah Presents New Criminal Laws| Lok Sabha Passes Bills replacing Colonial-Era Laws| Oneindia

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.
