New Delhi, Oct. 14 -- Union home minister Amit Shah on Monday said the three new criminal laws, which came into effect in July last year, will bring a revolution in ease of justice across the country, saying they ensure "smooth and time-bound delivery of justice". Addressing a gathering while inaugurating the exhibition, 'Nava Vidhaan- Nyaya Ki Nayi Pehchhan',organised by the Rajasthan Police in Jaipur, Shah said, "India had an image of delivering delayed justice. But these three latest criminal laws will now ensure smooth and time-bound delivery of justice. These will be revolutionary for the ease of justice." Praising the long-term vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the home minister stated that the new criminal laws have increased the conviction rate within a year of their implementation. "Rajasthan had only 42% conviction rate before the implementation of these laws, and rose to 60% in a year. At least 50% of the charge sheets are now being filed in a timely manner, paving the way for fast justice. I am confident that it will reach 90% soon," he said. The three new criminal laws -- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) 2023 -- came into effect on July 1, 2024. These laws replaced the colonial-era Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act (IEA). "These laws will be proven to be the biggest reformation in the criminal justice system in the 21st century. When we brought these Acts, people had doubts. But, these Acts have scientific provisions. The ministry of home affairs (MHA) is guiding every state to implement it properly. The police staff have been given training," Shah said. During his visit to Jaipur, Shah also laid the foundation stone for investment proposals worth Rs.4 lakh crore signed at the Rising Rajasthan Global Summit in December last year. Taking a swipe at former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Shah said, "When I came to visit the summit last year, a comment came from Gehlot. He raised doubts over the implementation of the total Rs.35 lakh crores of MoUs that our government received in the summit. We didn't say anything that time. But, unlike the Congress government, BJP does what it says." Shah also insisted that the people of Rajasthan should purchase more domestic products during Diwali to promote the economy of local labourers. During the event, Shah also unveiled the vision document of Vikasit Rajasthan-2047, disbursed Rs.260 crores to over 47,000 school students in the state to purchase uniforms, and also launched the official portal of the 150-unit monthly free electricity scheme. Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma also said that the BJP government is dedicated to farmers, women, labourers, and youth in the state. "Their development will ensure the exact Vikasit Rajasthan we are dreaming of."...
