India to Implement Three New Criminal Laws from July 1, 2024
Jun 30, 2024, 09:59 AM
India is set to implement three new criminal laws starting July 1, 2024, marking a significant overhaul of the country's legal system. The new laws aim to provide accessible justice, especially for women, children, and marginalized communities. Key features include stringent provisions to protect women's honor and dignity, community service as a punishment for minor offenses, and a focus on victim rights. The laws also introduce stronger measures against terrorism, human trafficking, and acid attacks. The government has prepared for this rollout with extensive training programs, educational mandates, and a coordinated publicity campaign. Union Minister of State for Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal, addressed a conference in Mumbai highlighting these reforms. These reforms are expected to replace the British-era criminal laws and bring about a more equitable justice system.
