The three new criminal laws, which replace regulations from the colonial era, will change India’s criminal justice system and go into effect nationally on July 1.
The newly enacted laws — the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Act — to completely overhaul the criminal justice system in the country will come into effect from July 1.
The three laws got the Parliament’s approval on December 21 last year and President Droupadi Murmu gave her assent on December 25.
According to three identical notifications issued by the Union Home Ministry, provisions of the new laws will come into force from July 1.
