UNION Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said the three bills introduced in Parliament by the Centre to replace the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act will ensure no case can continue for more than two years, which will result in elimination of “70 per cent negative energy”. Shah was chairing the 26th Western Zonal Council meeting held here in which a total of 17 issues between the States and Centre were discussed, nine of which were resolved, while the rest were kept for monitoring after in depth discussion, a Government release said.

 

The Western Zonal Council comprises Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and the Union Territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The meeting was attended by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, Goa CM Pramod Sawant and Administrator of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu Prafful Patel.

It was also attended by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other ministers, chief secretaries from the states in the Western Zone, the Union Home Secretary, Secretary, Inter-State Council Secretariat and other senior officials.

 

“After the passage of the three new Bills - Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill 2023, Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita Bill 2023 and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill 2023 - recently introduced by the Modi Government in Parliament, no case can continue for more than two years, which will result in elimination of 70 per cent negative energy,” Shah said in his address. “All States should work towards creating necessary basic infrastructure and capacity for the implementation of these laws,” Shah said. The BJP-led Centre introduced these three new bills in the Monsoon session of Parliament to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and Indian Evidence Act.
