Parliament

Amit Shah, the union Home Minister, introduced three bills to repeal the 151-year-old Indian Evidence Act, the 126-year-old Criminal Procedure Code, and the 163-year-old IPC. He claimed that doing so would rid the laws of their “British hangover” and make them more “people-centric” by putting the desire to uphold Indian citizens’ rights first.
