The Minister of the Interior of the Union AMIT Shah said on Tuesday (July 1, 2025) that the three criminal laws have sufficient checks and balances to ensure that police officers are caught if there is any injustice in criminal investigation.
Mr Shah said that whenever three laws are analyzed, they will be considered the greatest reform from independence, because there can be no greater reform than to be a justice system-which protects people’s rights, civil and time-bound.
Mr. Shah addressed the “Gold Year of Trust in the Forensic System” in Nový Delhi to mark the successful completion of one year of new criminal laws. Lieutenant Govind Mohan and Director of the Tapan Kumar Veka were present.
The Minister of the Interior said that new laws include several technological provisions that will not let the perpetrators the opportunity to escape the punishment by using the benefits of doubt. He said that after the full performance of the new criminal judiciary, the condemnation rate in the country will improve significantly.
Mr. Shah said that in the last year about 14.8 lakh police officers, 42,000 employees, more than 19,000 court officials and more than 11,000 prosecutors were trained in implementing new laws.
The E-Ceards and E-Summons announcements were issued in 11 countries and trade unions, while Nyay Shruti was announced in 6 countries and UT and community service because the sentence was announced in 12 countries and UT.
He said that laws impose strict timelines on three key pillars responsible for the provision of justice to citizens – the police, prosecution and judiciary.
New laws will move thinking from “What happens when I give a company” to a strong belief that “the company will lead to rapid justice”, the minister said.
From 1 July 2024, the Indian Criminal Code was replaced by Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 1860; The Indian Evidence Act was replaced by Bharatiya Sakshya (BS), 1872; And Bharatiya Nagarik Surraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was replaced by the Criminal Code, 1898.
