These British-era laws will be replaced with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, respectively . The new laws aim to make India’s criminal justice system modern by incorporating provisions such as ‘zero FIR’, online registration of police complaints, summonses through electronic modes such as SMS, and mandatory videography of crime scenes for all heinous crimes. Officials in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs said that preparations have been made to roll out the new laws with a focus on delivering justice to the common man rather than meting out punishment for offences. The officials said the new criminal laws are in sync with the existing social realities and crimes, and provide a mechanism to effectively deal with these, keeping in view the ideals enshrined in the Constitution of India. Justice on fast track Under new laws, verdict in criminal cases must come within 45 days of completion of trial and charges be framed within 60 days of first hearing. Rape survivors’ statement will be recorded by a female officer in the presence of guardian and medical reports have to come within seven days Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the new laws would give priority to providing justice as opposed to giving primacy to punishment as envisaged by the British-era laws. Now, people can report incidents of crimes by electronic communication, without the need to physically visit a police station. This allows easier reporting, facilitating prompt action by the police. With the provisions of Zero FIR, a person can report a case at any police station, regardless of jurisdiction. The IPC did not have provisions to deal with instances of false promise of marriage, gang rape of minors, mob lynching, chain snatching, etc. These have been addressed in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, officials said.
