3 proposed criminal laws seek to provide justice rather than punishment: Amit Shah
Amit Shah on Sunday said the three proposed criminal laws are people-centric, have the flavour of Indian soil and their main purpose is to protect the constitutional, human and personal rights of citizens. Addressing the International Lawyers' Conference organised by the Bar Council of India here, Shah also said the approach of the three bills is also to provide justice rather than mete out punishment. He appealed to all lawyers in the country to provide their suggestions to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS-2023), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS-2023) and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA-2023) so that the country can have the best laws that benefit all. The three bills, which were introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 11, will replace the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Criminal Procedure Act, 1898, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 respectively. «India's criminal justice system was imprinted with colonial law.

Why PM afraid of caste census: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi on Saturday advocated conducting a caste census and asked why was Prime Minister Narendra Modi «afraid» of it. Addressing a party workers' conference here, Gandhi also claimed that the special session of Parliament was called to change the name of India to Bharat, but instead the women's reservation bill was introduced. The Congress leader said the Women's Reservation Bill can be implemented in Parliament and Assemblies today itself, but the central government wants to postpone it for 10 years on the pretext of delimitation and new census. He said the Congress wants women's reservation to be implemented today itself. «If we talk about giving participation to OBCs, then it cannot be done without caste census. So the prime minister talks about OBCs 24 hours a day.

Govt making sincere attempts to draft laws in simple manner, Indian languages: PM
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his government is making sincere attempts to draft laws in a simple manner and in Indian languages to the maximum extent. Inaugurating the International Lawyers' Conference here, he also flagged concerns about cyber terrorism and money laundering besides the use of artificial intelligence for destructive purposes. Modi said these dangers do not recognise borders and jurisdiction and called for collaborative efforts among legal frameworks of different countries to deal with them. «When danger is global, then the manner to deal with it should also be global,» he said. The prime minister cited the example of cooperation between air traffic control systems of all countries to ensure air travel and said preparing a global framework to deal with these dangers is not about one government or country. Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice of the United Kingdom Alex Chalk KC, Attorney General for India R Venkataramani, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, Bar Council of India chairman and senior advocate Manan Kumar Mishra and others, including several judges of the apex court, were present at the event. Commenting on the legal system, he said the language used to write laws and in the judicial process plays a big role in ensuring justice. «We in the Indian government are thinking that law should be produced in two ways.
