MHA Tableau to Showcase New Criminal Laws at Republic Day Parade

• The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will feature a tableau at the 77th Republic Day Parade on Kartavya Path.
• The tableau highlights the nationwide implementation of three new criminal laws: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, effective July 1, 2024.
• These new laws replace colonial-era statutes like the IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act, marking a significant overhaul of India's criminal justice system.
• The theme "Dand Se Nyay Ki Or" (from punishment to justice) symbolizes a shift towards a modern, technology-driven, and citizen-centric legal framework.
• Technological advancements such as e-Sakshya, NAFIS, e-summon, virtual hearings, and the ICJS framework will be prominently displayed.

Why It Matters: MHA's Republic Day tableau will highlight India's new, technology-driven criminal laws replacing colonial-era statutes.
