The Parliamentary Committee on Home Affairs on Monday adopted three reports on Bills to replace the existing criminal laws. All the ten Opposition members will be submitting dissent notes.
The committee could not adopt the report in its last meeting on October 27, after several Opposition leaders asked for more time to read the three reports on the three laws — to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 with Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), respectively.
