Coimbatore:
In a significant overhaul of the criminal justice system, new laws will come into effect starting July 1. These reforms are set to bring about substantial changes in the handling of criminal cases across the country.
Under the new legislation, any individual will have the ability to file a First Information Report (FIR) at any police station, regardless of where the incident occurred. This change is expected to streamline the process and increase accessibility for the filing of complaints.
Moreover, a stringent new provision has been introduced for the protection of minors. Individuals found guilty of sexually assaulting minors will now face the death penalty, underscording the government's commitment to combating child abuse with the utmost severity.
Additionally, the new laws aim to expedite the judicial process by capping the number of times a case can be adjourned in court to just two. This measure is intended to reduce delays in the prosecution and ensure swift justice.
The implementation of these laws marks a pivotal moment in the reform of the Indian criminal justice system, aiming at more efficient and stricter enforcement.
