Three new laws have unshackled Indian Criminal Justice system: VP Dhankhar

HYDERABAD, Dec 27: The three new laws -- the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Act -- have unshackled the Indian Criminal Justice system from its colonial legacy while keeping the focus on justice rather than punishment, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Wednesday.
Speaking after releasing a postal special cover to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of legal luminary late Justice Konda Madhav Reddy, former Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh and Mumbai High Courts, Dhankhar here said he is happy to note that all three organs (of the state) -- the judiciary, the executive and the legislature are performing commendably and catalysing the unprecedented rise of Bharat.
The legal landscape of Bharat has undergone great affirmative change in recent months, which will have tremendous positive impact on its progress, and on the welfare of one-sixth of humanity, he said.
During the past decade, significant strides have been made in the judicial system, with an emphasis on digitalisation through the eCourts project and the National Judicial Data Grid, he said.
These have not only enhanced transparency and accessibility, but have resulted in reduction in pendency of cases, the vice-president added.
Major legal reforms included the establishment of commercial courts and amendments to arbitration laws, aiming at faster dispute resolution, he said, adding that initiatives such as the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) strengthen legal aid mechanisms for the underprivileged sections of society, ensuring access to justice for all.
He also said that it is noteworthy that under the current Chief Justice of India, the Supreme Court has taken several critical steps, including making the judiciary accessible to people in their own language, the vice-president said.
"The SC has gone paperless, and even the Courts (including advocates) are performing paperless. 99 per cent of the district courts are connected to the respective high courts, and the high courts are moving towards a paperless ecosystem," he said.
Speaking of the achievements of the legislature, he highlighted the three new (criminal code) bills introduced recently and given assent by the President of India.
