New Delhi: We bid goodbye to the outdated sections on Sedation, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday in his twitter X.

He hailed the passage of three criminal justice bills that will replace as many colonial-eras acts as a watershed moment in India’s history. It marked the beginning of a new era with laws centered on public service and welfare.

Parliament gave its nod to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. These bills will replace the Indian Penal Code-1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure-1898 and the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, respectively.

These transformative Bills are a testament to India’s commitment to reform. They bring our legal, policing, and investigative systems into the modern era with a focus on technology and forensic science, he said. These bills ensure enhanced protection for the poor, marginalized and vulnerable sections of our society.

These bills come down heavily on organized crime, terrorism and such offences which strike at the root of the country’s peaceful journey to progress, he said.
