Amit Shah Holds Review Meeting On Implementation Of Three New Criminal Laws In Delhi
Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a high-level review meeting on the implementation of three new criminal laws in Delhi. The meeting took place at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in the national capital on Monday.
Among those in attendance were Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, and Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora.
The three laws under discussion are the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. These laws were conceptualized under the vision of the Prime Minister to replace colonial-era laws that persisted after 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.”
Earlier, on May 4, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched MedLEaPR (Medico-Legal Examination and Postmortem Reporting) at the Secretariat. She described it as a transformative step toward improving the efficiency and credibility of India’s criminal justice process.
Speaking at an official briefing, Gupta said the initiative was launched in response to the three new criminal laws enacted by the Central Government to overhaul and modernize the justice system.
“Three new criminal laws have come into effect through the Central Government. To improve the entire justice system, MedLEaPR has been introduced. There used to be delays, loopholes, and discrepancies in the system. Through MedLEaPR, we will be able to address these issues, improve efficiency, and ensure better coordination,” Gupta said.
The MedLEaPR system integrates digital tools for medico-legal examinations and postmortem documentation. It aims to eliminate manual errors, streamline reporting, and ensure greater transparency.
These laws and digital reforms collectively aim to create a more secure and just society, aligning with the broader vision of a Developed India.
