00:10 The laws to be exchanged are Code of Criminal Procedure or CRPC which will be replaced by
00:16 Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, India Penal Code or IPC of 1860 which is to be replaced
00:23 by Bharatiya Niyaya Sanhita 2023 and finally Indian Evidence Act of 1872 which is to be
00:30 replaced by Bharatiya Saksha Bill 2023.
00:33 As per reports, the country might get new criminal laws through the three bills that
00:37 will replace the IPC, CRPC and the Evidence Act by the end of this year.
00:42 Sources said that the committee tasked with examining it is trying to submit its report
00:46 before the start of the winter session of the Parliament which usually starts and ends
00:50 in December.
00:51 According to sources, the government will try to get the bills passed in the Parliament
00:56 after discussion in the winter session itself.
00:59 On Friday, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar referred the three proposed laws that will
01:03 replace the IPC, CRPC and the Evidence Act to the Standing Committee on Home Affairs
01:08 for examination and asked it to submit its report within three months.
01:12 A meeting of the Standing Committee has been called on August 24th to discuss the bills.
01:17 Sources said that the meetings will be frequent in order to expedite the process.
01:21 They said that daily meetings might also be considered at a later stage.
01:25 BJP's Rajya Sabha MP and former police officer Brij Lal is heading the committee.
01:30 The MP served as the UP Police Chief between 2011 to 2012.
01:35 As per reports, the bills are crafted to abolish and replace a trio of criminal laws.
01:40 The Indian Penal Code and the Indian Evidence Acts are antiquated colonial-era laws while
01:45 the Code of Criminal Procedure is half a century old.
01:48 The bills have been referred to a parliamentary committee for further debate.
01:51 Home Minister Amit Shah said that their objective is to deliver justice and not mere punishment.
01:56 Legal scholars say that the bills do contain some significant changes covering a swathe
02:02 of the justice system.
02:03 Yet some experts are sceptical about how some of these laws will work.
