A day earlier, the Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma inspected preparations in Jaipur ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to attend the inauguration programme of the exhibition on new criminal laws. The exhibition, marks one year since the implementation of the new criminal laws--the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam--which came into effect on July 1, 2024. The exhibition will run from October 13 to 18. Speaking to the reporters, Director General of Police (DGP) of Rajasthan, Rajeev Sharma, urged the public to visit the upcoming exhibition on India's new criminal laws. "Union Home Minister Amit Shah will attend the inauguration program of the exhibition on new criminal laws. The public should visit the exhibition to get information regarding them," DGP Sharma said. The three new criminal laws were conceptualised with the vision of the Prime Minister to replace colonial-era laws that persisted post-independence and to reform the judicial system by shifting the focus from punishment to justice. The theme of the program is "Secure Society, Developed India- From Punishment to Justice". New Criminal Laws replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act. (ANI)
