NEW DELHI: Today,(28th Jan): The Union government has decided not to act on the Supreme Court’s suggestion to create a separate law on bail. The government believes that the recent changes in criminal laws, especially the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which came into effect in July 2024, already address the concerns about pre-trial detention and related issues.
Today( 26th June),The West Bengal Bar Council designated July 1 as ‘Black Day’ to protest three new criminal laws, set to replace existing codes, on the grounds of being anti-people and undemocratic. The legal community’s united stand seeks to highlight concerns and potential implications for the justice system and the public at large.
