times, serif;\">As we all are trying to know to find out the answer of &#8220;What are three New Criminal Laws?&#8221; For the information it is being apprised to you that the New Criminal Laws have been implemented from 1st July, 2024 through out the country. The Union Home Minister, Amit Shah on December 12, 2023 introduced three revised Bills in the Lok Sabha to replace the existing criminal justice system in India. The Indian Parliament has initiated this reformative approach in the criminal justice system history by replacing three British era criminal laws i.e. the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 with the Bhartiya Nayay Sanhita, 2023, the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and the Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 respectively. These new laws, grounded in Indian values of justice signify a shift from a punitive to a justice-oriented approach, reflecting \u201cBhartiya Nyaya Vyavastha\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">These legislative changes that have been made under the leadership of Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and spearheaded by Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah, also mark the culmination of the \u2018Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav\u2019 and herald the dawn of \u2018Amrit Kaal\u2019, symbolizing the forging of a truly independent India. The overarching goal is to create a criminal justice system that not only protects citizens\u2019 rights but also upholds the Rule of Law, ensuring accessible and speedy justice for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_motive_behind_the_reformation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #ca3494;\">Major motive behind the reformation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">These acts are intended to overhaul Indian Legal System and establish a \u201cbest suitable justice system as per the Indian scenario and Indian Society\u201d.
