NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah on Friday reviewed the status of implementation of the new criminal laws in Andhra Pradesh with chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu , stressing that the 100% rollout of their provisions at the ground level is necessary to ensure civil rights .
Shah, in his address at the review meeting, said the three new criminal laws enacted under the Narendra Modi regime “are meant to reflect the spirit of the Indian Constitution”. He said that civil rights will not be strengthened merely by the enactment of new criminal laws, but must be fully implemented on the ground at the earliest possible. For this, he said, the use of technology and continuous monitoring is essential.
The meeting — attended by home secretary, Andhra Pradesh chief secretary and DGP and the chiefs of Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPRD) and National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) — reviewed the present status of new provisions in the BNS, BNSS and BSA, related to police, prisons, courts, prosecution and forensics.
The home minister asked Andhra Pradesh to review the status of implementation of new criminal laws in a pin-pointed format so that they can be rolled out expeditiously. He said that it is important to push for timelines for filing charge sheets and framing of charges within the timeframe of 60 and 90 days respectively.
Shah suggested that Naidu review the implementation of new criminal laws in the state once a month, the chief secretary every fortnight and the home secretary and DGP, once a week.
Naidu thanked Shah for the efforts being made by the Union home ministry to bring about a sea change in the Indian criminal justice system .
