A historic milestone in the Indian legal system- The introduction of 3 new criminal major laws

            A turning point in the Indian legal system has been the major revamp of the criminal justice system. The three New Criminal Major Laws: the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam have gone into effect from July 1, 2024, and replaced their predecessor- the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC),1898, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, with a motive of bringing significant reforms aimed at modernising and streamlining the country’s legal framework. These New Acts aren’t just cosmetic updates, but a comprehensive reworking of India’s criminal laws, aiming to address the long-standing inefficiencies and inadequacies of the existing statutes, which have sometimes been criticised for being outdated and unresponsive to the needs of modern society.

            Thus, to make these New Criminal Major Laws more accessible to the citizens of India, EBC has released the first edition of the compact, easy-to-carry version of the new acts. As its name suggests, it is beautifully designed on high-quality bible paper with gilt-edged sides to fit conveniently in a coat pocket. The book is an eye-catcher and an owner’s pride. Despite its small size, it includes the full text of the New Criminal Major Laws, ensuring no detail is omitted. The book is the most compact and convenient to carry!

Let us have a look at the special features of the coat pockets:
