The Parliament has approved the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, replacing the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and the Evidence Act. Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that these laws, of purely indigenous origin, prioritize justice over previous British laws emphasizing penal action. The bills received unanimous approval as the Opposition had left in protest. After passing 17 bills, the Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die, with Shah declaring the end of colonial criminal justice laws in India.
