New Delhi, 20 December: Three new bills to redefine the three laws related to legal procedure, Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and Evidence Act, were passed by the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday introduced the Indian Justice (Second) Code, 2023, the Indian Civil Defense (Second) Code, 2023 and the Indian Evidence (Second) Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha for discussion and passing.
Responding to the discussion on these bills today, Home Minister Shah said that their objective is to make the legal process justice-centric instead of punishment-centric and to give place to the Indian idea in the justice system.
Responding to the bill, Shah said that the bills introduced last time were sent to the Standing Committee of the Home Department. The committee had suggested several changes in the bills. Many of these changes have been accepted.
In such a situation, instead of bringing amendments related to the bills, bills have been brought in a new way.
All three bills were presented before the House today for discussion and passing which was passed by the House by voice vote.
