In a sweeping move towards redefining India's criminal justice system, Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three transformative bills in the Lok Sabha, signaling a significant shift in the legal landscape. 

The proposed legislation, including the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, aims to replace archaic statutes with comprehensive and contemporary legal frameworks.

Key provisions highlighted by the Home Minister include:

1. Combatting Mob Lynching: A distinct provision for mob lynching is outlined, entailing punishments ranging from 7 years to life imprisonment, or even the death penalty.

2. Streamlined FIR Process: The introduction of a 'Zero FIR' provision empowers citizens to file a First Information Report (FIR) at any police station, irrespective of jurisdiction. Such FIRs must be promptly transferred to the appropriate jurisdiction within 15 days.

3. Swift Trials: The bills propose digitization of the entire legal process, from FIR registration to case diary maintenance, charge sheet submission, and judgment delivery. This aims to expedite the justice system.

4. Advanced Trial Mechanism: Embracing technology, the legislation facilitates video conferencing for trials, cross-examinations, and appeals. Video recording of statements from victims of sexual crimes is mandated.

5. Stringent Punishments: The bills advocate stringent penalties for heinous crimes. Gang rape is punishable by either 20 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment. Rape of minors can attract the death penalty.

6. Enhanced Investigation Timeframe: A mandatory 90-day period for filing charge sheets is proposed, extendable by another 90 days. This allows a maximum of 180 days for investigation completion.

7. Timely Adjudication: Courts are required to frame charges within 60 days of receiving the charge sheet, while judgments must be delivered within 30 days after the conclusion of hearings.

8. Transparency and Accessibility: Judgments are mandated to be available online within 7 days of pronouncement.

9. Prevention of Misuse: To prevent misuse of the legal system by influential individuals, provisions restrict the commutation of death penalties, life sentences, and shorter sentences.

10. Modernized Investigation: The bills introduce the mandatory deployment of Mobile Forensic Science Laboratories at the district level and require forensic teams to visit crime scenes involving severe punishments.

These proposed reforms embody extensive consultations with experts and stakeholders, fostering a holistic approach to addressing systemic issues. If enacted, these changes could potentially revolutionize India's criminal justice system, ensuring accountability, efficiency, and justice for all.
