Saha lays emphasis on coordination among stakeholders to ensure justice under criminal laws
'Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the three criminal laws were enacted in the country. The people will benefit from these laws as it mandates a timeline for disposal of cases,' the chief minister told reporters. The three new criminal laws – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) – were enacted, replacing the colonial era legislations. Agartala, Jul 20 (PTI) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday laid emphasis on better coordination among stakeholders to ensure justice under three criminal laws. Saha was talking after inaugurating a workshop on 'investigation and prosecution under three criminal laws and NDPS Act' at Pragya Bhavan. He said the three laws have many benefits, such as the forensic team will rush to the crime scene if it (the crime) invites more than seven years of imprisonment, the statement of rape victim may be recoded through electronic communication in the presence of female magistrate. 'In case of rape, the health officials are asked to submit a report within seven days to expedite investigation. Besides, the laws fixed the timeline for disposing of cases,' he said. Asserting that arrest doesn't ensure punishment to any accused, the chief minister said police and public prosecutors and other stakeholders must work hand in hand to ensure justice for the victims. 'If there is any lapse in investigation, the agencies sort out the problem and ensure justice under the three new criminal laws. There must be intensive awareness programmes on the new laws to sensitise the people about the advantages given in the new laws,' he said. On the NDPS Act, the chief minister said the conviction rate in such cases has increased in the northeastern state. PTI PS RG This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
