It is to be noted here that Shah introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha to replace the IPC, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act.Speaking on the three bills in the Lower House, Amit Shah said, “Under this law, we are repealing laws like Sedition.”“From 1860 to 2023, the countrys criminal justice system functioned as per the laws made by the British. With these three laws there will be a major change in the criminal justice system in the country,” he said.“Under this Bill, we have set the goal that the conviction ratio has to be taken above 90 per cent. That is why, we have brought an important provision that the Sections which provide for 7 years or a greater jail term, under all those cases forensic teams visit to the crime scene will be made compulsory,” Amit Shah said.
