The Lok Sabha is at present considering three criminal law bills.
The bills are Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, which seek to repeal and replace the Indian Penal Code 1860, Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act 1872.
The bills were initially introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah in the Monsoon Session and were referred to a Parliamentary Standing Committee. The initial bills were withdrawn and were re-introduced during this session, incorporating certain suggestions made by the Committee. Home Minister Amit Shah said that most of the changes from the first versions are grammatical in nature.
