Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the
soul, body, and idea of the new three criminal laws are pure ‘Bharatiya’.
Speaking on the debate in Rajya Sabha
over three bills seeking to replace the IPC, CrPc, and Evidence Act, Amit Shah
in Rajya Sabha said, “We had said the process of justice will be speeded up,
the laws will be simplified, and that the laws will be Bharatiya. Soul, body,
and idea of the new three criminal laws are pure Bharatiya.”
He said the implementation of the three
bills seeking to replace the IPC, CrPc, and Evidence Act will ensure an end to
the “tareekh pe tareekh” era. The motive of these three bills is not to punish
but to give justice.
“The motive of the three bills is not to
punish but to give justice. After 75 years of independence, the Modi Government
has tried to introduce changes and reform the colonial laws. Since 2019,
consultations and discussions have been going on over these three bills,” said Amit
Shah.
Stating that IPC, CrPC, and the Evidence
Act were brought by the Britishers to protect their rule, Amit Shah said, “Their
aim was to penalise the citizens and not protect them against injustice. Even
with magnifying classes, we could not find how an oppressed person would find
justice or how a citizen of India would feel secure in those laws.”
The Home Minister said after the
complete implementation of the bills, the whole process of filing an FIR to the
judgment will become online.
“Bharat will be a country where the
maximum usage of technology will be done under the criminal justice system,”
Amit Shah said.
Earlier, the three momentous bills to
replace the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian
Evidence Act were passed by Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
Home Minister Amit Shah replied to the
debate on the three bills and said the legislation are in consonance with the
spirit of the Constitution.
The Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita
2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya
(Second) Bill 2023 seek to replace the IPC, CrPC and the Evidence Act
respectively.
