Union government withdraws three bills aimed at replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act 1872. New versions of the bills, incorporating recommendations from the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home, are set to be introduced. The committee, led by Rajya Sabha MP Brij Lal, suggested changes to laws on adultery and negligence-caused deaths. The original bills, introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah, aimed to overhaul colonial-era laws with Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. The revised bills will be presented to the Union Cabinet before introduction in the Lok Sabha.
