ITANAGAR, 1 Jul:<\/strong> With the new criminal laws coming into force on Monday, Chief Minister Pema Khandu termed it a “watershed moment” in India’s judicial history.<\/p>\n The Indian Judicial Code, the Indian Civil Defence Code, and the Indian Evidence Act replaced the colonial-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.<\/p>\n “A watershed moment in India’s judicial history as Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam come into force today, replacing the British-era IPC, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act,” Khandu posted on X.<\/p>\n The CM described the new laws as a farsighted move towards ensuring political, economic, and social justice for all by ensuring timely completion of investigations.<\/p>\n “Registration of FIRs has been made much easier. The new Sanhitas are more sensible towards handling crimes against women. Gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and Hon’ble Home Minister Shri @AmitShah ji for completely transforming the country’s criminal justice system. @PMOIndia @HMOIndia,” Khandu added.<\/p>\n Arunachal Pradesh will use the English and Hindi versions of the three new criminal laws, since the state’s people speak in “innumerable” dialects, officials said.<\/p>\n Officials and other individuals concerned are being trained on the new laws in English and Hindi.
