New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to introduce three criminal law bills including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita Bill, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023 in Parliament on Tuesday. These bills have been redrafted on various recommendations made by a parliamentary standing committee.
The government introduced three bills on the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) in the Lok Sabha on August 11 to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1898, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, respectively.
The Rajya Sabha passed unanimously the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 on Day 6 of the winter session, shortly after the Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the abrogation of Article 370, in favour of taking away the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, suspended Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra has decided to move the Supreme Court to challenge her suspension regarding the cash for query case, involving businessman Darshan Hiranandani. Moitra was suspended from the Parliament on grounds of ‘unethical conduct’ after she was accused of taking bribes from Hiranandani in exchange for posing questions in Parliament.
