New Delhi/ Bhopal, Jan 17 (NationPress) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced that the state is beginning to see positive outcomes following the implementation of three new criminal legislation.
During a review meeting, Union Home Minister Amit Shah commended the advancements made by the Madhya Pradesh government in enhancing the legal framework. He also urged for additional actions, including recruitment for the Forensic Department and the training of police personnel in the near future,” stated the Chief Minister to reporters in New Delhi after attending a meeting led by the Home Minister to assess the newly enacted criminal laws.
Yadav remarked that the impact of these new laws is becoming evident and noted that Madhya Pradesh has emerged as a pioneer in utilizing e-summons as part of the new legal framework.
The Chief Minister assured the Home Minister of his commitment to personally monitor the advancements of the new criminal laws on a monthly basis, while the Chief Secretary will conduct progress reviews bi-monthly.
“Thanks to these new regulations, we have managed to resolve numerous cases within the designated timeframe. The integration of technology into the new system is optimizing both time and manpower. For example, medical professionals who previously dedicated extensive hours to tasks outside their primary duties, and police officers transporting suspects from jails to hospitals, are now enjoying significant relief,” Yadav explained.
It is important to note that the new criminal laws—Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA)—were enacted in Madhya Pradesh and nationwide on July 1 of last year. These laws have replaced the long-standing Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act.
To familiarize law enforcement with the new regulations, extensive training sessions have been conducted in Madhya Pradesh for over 60,000 police personnel, including IPS officers.
