Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that after the implementation of the three new criminal Bills there would be a uniform justice system throughout the country.
He said the proposed laws were victim-centred and fixed the accountability of the police. He said an independent Director of Prosecution would be appointed at the district and State levels, where the role of the police would only be advisory.
The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita Bill (BNSS), 2023; the Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill (BSS), 2023; and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita (BNSSS) Bill, 2023. They will replace the Indian Penal Code, 1860; the Indian Evidence Act, 1872; and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898; respectively.
