Odisha Director General of Police Yogesh Bahadur Khurania has lauded the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita, highlighting the changes it has brought to the justice system across state since its implementation.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the Odisha DGP emphasised that new BNS system has brought new speed in the justice system, in which priority has been given to victims. He added that in Odisha itself, there have been 70 cases in which verdict has been declared within 100 days. "On July 1, 2024, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was implemented across the country. In this justice process, priority has been given to the victims... efforts have been made to complete the entire process and deliver justice in the minimum time. The new laws implemented from July 1, 2024, have brought speed to the justice system. In Odisha, 70 such cases have come to light in which action was completed within 100 days, and the judge delivered the verdict," the Odisha DGP said. This comes at a time when Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah is set to inaugurate the 'New Nyaya Sanhita' exhibition in Bhubaneswar on Friday. Shah will also address the 57th Raising Day ceremony of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) as the Chief Guest on Friday in Odisha's Mudali.
