Minister of State (MoS) (Independent Charge) Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal on Sunday stated that the new Criminal Laws replacing the Indian Penal Code 1860, the Indian Evidence Act 1872 and the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 will come into force from July 1, 2024.

“From July 1, all three laws, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Act will replace the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act. Looking at the current situation, there are many innovative ideas in these three laws,” Meghwal was quoted by PTI as saying.

He further highlighted that the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) is providing training for it and said, “Our judicial academies, national law universities are also providing training for the same. Everything is going hand in hand and from July 1, all these three laws which is crucial for criminal justice system will be implemented in the country.”

The three new laws were passed by the Parliament last year and President Droupadi Murmu gave her assent to those in December 2023.

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita will include dealing with offences such as acts of secession, armed rebellion, subversive activities, separatist activities or endangering the sovereignty or unity in the new avatar of the sedition law.
