The Supreme Court rejected a petition by activist K.A.

The new criminal laws in India, effective from July 1, encompass a wide range of offenses with increased imprisonment durations, newly introduced mandatory punishments, and enhanced fines. These laws leave no discretion to the court and impose fixed periods of imprisonment specified by law for specific offenses, such as buying a child for prostitution and facilitating organized crime.
