On August 11, 2023, Union Home Minister Amit Shah tabled three legislations in the Lok Sabha intending to reform India's criminal justice system. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Saksh Bill, and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita will replace the former Indian Penal Code (1860), Indian Evidence Act (1872), and Code of Criminal Procedure (1973), in that order. A Parliamentary Standing Committee has been tasked with reviewing the three proposed statutes. The committee will conduct a thorough investigation and is expected to report its conclusions before the next legislative session convenes.
