Excitement builds for Republic Day as the Ministry of Home Affairs readies a tableau that encapsulates the digital revolution in India’s criminal justice framework. Parading on January 26, it will feature the nationwide rollout of new laws, blending tradition with innovation for a forward-looking legal system.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, active since July 1, 2024, dismantle colonial legacies, prioritizing ‘Nyaya’ over outdated retribution. This overhaul aligns with India’s developmental goals.
Spectators will see e-evidence protocols, biometric NAFIS identification, e-summons, and virtual courts in action. An integrated system unites law enforcement agencies, from investigation to incarceration.
Highlights include swift mobile forensics at crime spots, advanced control rooms with CCTV, and enhanced roles for women police personnel. Community service as reformative justice promotes humanity in law.
Inclusive multilingual law texts demonstrate accessibility. This tableau stands as a testament to India’s commitment to a transparent, efficient, and citizen-oriented justice delivery, captivating the Republic Day audience and beyond.
