New criminal laws biggest reform in free India: Amit Shah
Shah stressed that the PM Narendra Modi-led government framed the new laws — BNS, BNSS and BSA — to ensure that all rights of citizens are protected and no criminal goes unpunished.
Addressing an event marking one year of the roll out of the three laws, Shah said, 'These laws are going to transform the criminal justice system in the country significantly. I assure all the citizens that it will take a maximum of three years for the full implementation of the new laws. I can also confidently say that anyone can get justice up to the Supreme Court within three years of filing an FIR.'
He said the biggest challenge before the country's judicial system was 'when will justice be delivered', referring to the long pendency of cases.
'It was an era of 'tareekh pe tareekh' (repeated adjournments). But after the complete implementation of three new laws, if you file an FIR in any corner of the country, you will get justice up to the Supreme Court within three years,' he added.
Shah also expressed confidence that after the new criminal laws are fully implemented, the 'conviction rate will be higher than any other country in the world, our judicial system will be the most modern system in the world, and the usage of technology will be the highest in India'.

President's rule in Bihar? Tejashwi alleges BJP planning to keep Nitish Kumar as CM only until elections; alleges 'major controversy unfolding'
NEW DELHI: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party is hatching a conspiracy to impose President rule and take control of Bihar after the assembly elections which is scheduled at the end of the year. Tejashwi said that things will change after the elections, claiming that Amit Shah will keep Nitish Kumar as chief minister only until the elections. "Those who are observing the situation believe that these people will impose President's Rule. It seems like a major conspiracy is unfolding in Bihar, with Modi planning to implement President's Rule and take control," Tejashwi said. "Rajnath Singh attended the event and said that they are forming the government for the third time, praising Nitish Ji. The BJP is the largest party, but they have no face, and Amit Shah has made it clear that they will keep them only until the elections, after which things will change. The BJP's dominance will soon end," he added. The RJD leader also attacked Election Commission over electoral roll revision, accusing it taking away voting rights of poor in the state. "This is a significant issue as the rights of the poor and their voting rights are being taken away. The Election Commission is meeting with political parties. We want to ask what should be done if there is no time given for meetings. This is injustice because it seems there will be challenges for the people in the coming days," Tejashwi said. "Everyone is exposed, and one wonders why the Election Commission is unwilling to meet. It is supposed to be an independent body, but it appears to be singing praises of the BJP and RSS," he added. According to the poll body, the special intensive revision of electoral rolls is part of its crackdown on illegal immigrants from countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The poll panel reminded the constitutional provision that says only Indian citizens can vote. "The Constitution of India is supreme. All citizens, political parties, and the Election Commission of India follow the Constitution," EC said in a statement. The assembly election is scheduled for the end of the year, where a high-stakes battle is expected. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) — consisting of the Janata Dal (United) led by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and the Bharatiya Janata Party — will face off against the Mahagathbandhan, which includes the Congress, RJD, and Left parties.

Ex-Himachal MLA, ASP get into minor altercation in Bilaspur
A purported video of the altercation showed Thakur asserting that he knew the way to the DC office, and he was allowed to use the route. Police said he was only being asked to take a different route as Union Minister and BJP national president J P Nadda's convoy was to take that road, official sources said. Bilaspur (HP), Jul 2(PTI) Former Congress MLA Bamber Thakur got into an altercation with a senior police officer in Himachal's Bilaspur district on Wednesday, accusing the police of trying to stop him and his supporters from visiting the deputy commissioner. When the police officer asks him and his supporters to step aside, the ex-MLA says, 'Don't argue. I know my way.' This is when Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shiv Kumar intervenes, but Thakur keeps walking forward. 'Don't push me… don't abuse,' the ASP says in the clip that has surfaced online. Thakur is then seen sitting on the road in protest. The former MLA said that he was going to submit a memorandum to the deputy commissioner. The ex-MLA's son, Ishan Thakur, wrote on social media that some 'goons from Punjab' tried to attack his father on Tuesday. The former MLA, who was earlier shot at his residence in Bilaspur on Holi this year, alleged that there was an attempt to attack him in Jabli by diverting the attention of his personal security officer (PSO). He said the attackers were waiting for an opportunity, but the PSO was alert. Thakur claimed that around 5 pm the same day, he sent a message to the SP, but the police did nothing about the matter.
