7 years' jail 'high' for offence of causing death by negligence, says parliamentary panel

IndiaTimes Sunday, 12 November 2023
A parliamentary committee has noted that seven years' imprisonment prescribed in the proposed new criminal law for causing death by negligence is "high" and it should be reduced to five years. ​The Parliamentary Standing Committee on home affairs, headed by BJP MP Brijlal, observed that the 10-year jail suggested in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for those who cause death of a person by rash or negligent act and escape from the scene of the incident or fail to report the incident to police or a magistrate, needed to further be deliberated for whether the clause should be retained at all.
