Legal bodies protest against new laws replacing criminal codes
New Delhi: The India Association for Lawyers (IAL), All India Lawyers Association for Justice (AILAJ), and the All India Lawyers Union (AILU) staged a protest against three new laws set to replace key criminal codes from July 1, 2024.
The protest targeted the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, which are set to replace the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Indian Penal Code, and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.
During the protest, a resolution was passed condemning these new laws as unconstitutional and undemocratic. The protesting lawyers criticized the government for passing these laws without any prior discussion or consultation with relevant stakeholders.
The resolution demanded that the implementation of these laws be halted and called for a comprehensive review and discussion in Parliament before any further steps are taken.
