Parliament Winter Session: The three criminal regulation bills — The Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita, 2023, The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023, and The Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023 — changing the IPC, the CrPC and the Evidence Act, have been passed in Parliament.
The three bills have been tabled in Rajya Sabha in the present day, a day after they have been passed in Lok Sabha. After the day-long dialogue, the brand new bills have been passed in the Upper House too.
“The passage of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is a watershed moment in our history. These Bills mark the end of colonial-era laws. A new era begins with laws centered on public service and welfare,” Prime Minister Modi wrote on X.
