Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to dedicate three groundbreaking criminal laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam—to the nation on December 3, 2024, at 12 noon in Chandigarh. This historic event signifies a shift from colonial-era laws to a modern legal framework focused on justice and security.
Vision for a Transparent and Efficient Judiciary
The conceptualization of these laws stems from PM Modi‘s vision of eliminating outdated colonial laws and aligning India’s judicial system with contemporary needs. The theme, “Secure Society, Developed India: From Punishment to Justice,” highlights the transformative approach of these reforms, emphasizing justice over mere punishment.
Nationwide Implementation of New Criminal Laws
Implemented across the nation on July 1, 2024, the new criminal laws aim to enhance transparency, efficiency, and adaptability in India’s legal system. They introduce frameworks to address modern challenges such as cybercrime, organized crime, and better protection for victims, marking a historic overhaul of the criminal justice system.
Demonstrating Practical Impact
The event will include a live demonstration, simulating a crime scene investigation to highlight how these laws are practically applied. This will illustrate how the new frameworks are reshaping the criminal justice landscape and improving outcomes for victims and society.
Towards a Developed and Secure India
These reforms symbolize India’s commitment to evolving its judicial system in line with the aspirations of a modern society. As PM Modi dedicates these transformative laws to the nation, the focus remains steadfast on building a safer, more secure, and equitable future for all citizens.
