Within the next 5 years, three new criminal laws will be implemented
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the 5th International and 44th All India Criminal Science Conference at the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) on Tuesday, Union Minister of Home Affairs and Cooperation Amit Shah stated, “In the new laws, forensic science has been given importance in investigation, prosecution, and judicial processes, opening up a significant area for the youth. Within the next 5 years, three new criminal laws will be implemented.”
The public has witnessed that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the government has undertaken more than 50 decades of transformative work in the last 10 years. In the new India, justice will be available, affordable, and accessible with the use of technology.
In the coming era marked by three new laws and the end of the servitude mindset, Shah, the strategic architect of Indian politics committed to justice, has established a system where more than 9,000 forensic science officers will be trained every year in the next 5 years. It is also assured that with the use of technology in the new laws, justice will be available, affordable, and accessible. In the next year, 9 campuses of NFSU will open across the country, playing a crucial role in preparing resources for forensic science in the criminal justice system.
Shah, committed to justice, believes that forensic science should not only be used in investigations but should also be an integral part of the justice delivery process. He also acknowledges the need for the criminal justice system to stay two generations ahead of criminals. It is noteworthy that the inauguration of the 5th International and 44th All India Criminal Science Conference at the National Forensic Sciences University is happening at a time when India’s criminal justice system is entering a new era.
Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah has undertaken unprecedented work by making significant changes to the laws created by the British, creating a new law for the new India. The previous laws aimed to secure British rule and impose punishment on Indians, but now, the law has been brought in line with the fundamental principle of justice. It is noteworthy that while the previous laws were associated with ‘punishment,’ the new laws are associated with ‘justice.’
Shah believes that for a sentence of 7 years or more, a forensic science officer’s visit to the crime scene will be mandatory, making the investigation easier, and the work of judges more straightforward. With the help of technology, overcoming all challenges in the criminal justice system, the country’s justice system will become the most modern in the world within 5 years. (PRESS RELEASE)
