Govt. dusts off draft Bill prepared by Kerala Law Reforms Commission to curb inhuman and evil practices

Shocked by the purported human sacrifice of two women in Pathanamthitta, the Kerala government has decided to dust off the draft legislation prepared by the Kerala Law Reforms Commission to curb inhuman and evil practices.

The government may either opt for an ordinance or a legislation on the floor of the Assembly to take forward the Kerala Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practices, Sorcery and Black Magic Bill 2019, which was drafted by the commission.

Senior functionaries of the Home and Law departments and the Kerala Law Reforms Commission will soon vet the draft Bill to come up with recommendations to fine-tune it. The draft Bill had been lying with the State departments for some time.
