Kapil Sibal says 90 per cent provisions of three criminal bills same as existing laws

IndiaTimes Monday, 25 December 2023
Former Union Minister Kapil Sibal on Monday said that the three criminal bills that aim to replace Britsh-era IPC, CrPC and Indian Evidence Act have provisions which are 90 pc same as the existing laws. He added that the legislations were passed when 146 opposition MPs were undergoing suspension from the Parliament. The former Union Minister said that the Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita Bill, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita Bill and the Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill are more rigorous than the 'colonial' ones and they don't have any 'Indian-ness' in them.
