The Modi govt wants to revamp India’s judicial system by replacing criminal laws such as the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act which were made during the British era. For this, three new bills were introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 11, the last day of the monsoon session. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Parliament that the purpose of these three new bills is not to punish but to give justice. At present, the bills have been sent to the Standing Committee for review. But why was this overhaul needed and what kind of changes have been made to it? Senior Supreme Court lawyer Sidharth Luthra explains changes that these three bills propose to the existing laws.
