New Delhi, Dec. 14 -- "What must be noted is that, in Kerala, now itself the laws are very tough and it's only a question of implementation. But now that Andhra Pradesh has passed a new one, we have no issues in looking that up and see what it offers. It will be done and then will see," said Kerala Minister for Health and Social Welfare KK Shailaja, referring to recently passed Andhra Pradesh Criminal Law (Amendment) 2019 Bill, christened 'AP Disha Act' and the Andhra Pradesh Special Court for Specified Offences against Women and Children.

In a recent development, Andhra Pradesh government has come out with a new law stating anyone convicted in a rape case to be tried within 21 days if clinching evidences are there.
