Murshidabad (West Bengal) [India], June 30 (ANI): Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that the decision to implement the new criminal laws from July 1 has been taken in haste and more consultation is required before enforcing them.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, “The three criminal laws that will be implemented from tomorrow, have many issues on which more clarity is required. Through centuries, the laws that are being followed, if it is changed overnight, then the common man and the lawyers of smaller courts will face difficulty. The big advocates in the country may understand the laws but the lawyers based in smaller cities may have limited knowledge of them, so more time should be given to make them understand. If any decision is taken in haste then there can be a negative impact.”
He further said that the common man should be taken into confidence before implementing the laws.
He said, “Before implementing it, more debate should be held and people should be taken into confidence. If the implementation is delayed by a few months or a year, it will not make any difference. It is necessary to remove doubts from the minds of the common people,” he added.
Earlier, Minister of State (MoS) (Independent Charge) Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal said that the new Criminal Laws, namely Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, Bharatiya Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, will come into force on July 1, 2024.
“IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act are changing. After following the due consultation process and keeping in mind the reports of the Law Commission of India, the three laws have been changed,” said Meghwal.
“The three laws will be implemented from July 1 with the names Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, Bharatiya Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. Training facilities for the three new laws are being provided in all states,” said Meghwal.
He highlighted that the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) is providing training for it.
He added, “Our judicial academies, and national law universities are also providing training for the same. Everything is going hand in hand and from July 1, all these three laws which is crucial for the criminal justice system will be implemented in the country.” (ANI)
