Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi stated that numerous outdated, superfluous, and outdated laws in Odisha will be found and repealed during a sensitization program hosted by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Lok Seva Bhavan Convention Center on Thursday. This procedure has already started, the Chief Minister declared.
Several civil society organizations, women and child development activists, RTI activists, paralegal activists, sexual harassment protection activists, law university students, and representatives from other societal segments attended the event, which was organized to raise awareness about the BNSS and BNS. The purpose of the event was to raise public and individual awareness of the passage of these two historic legislation. According to the Chief Minister, there is a belief that India is a nation with a lot of laws but little implementation of them. There are several laws in our nation. The majority of them have lost their relevance. “The Prime Minister has repealed over 1,550 unnecessary laws in the past ten years,” the Chief Minister noted.
According to the Chief Minister, the Indian Constitution and the “nyaya sanhita” (penal code) form the foundation of our legal system. This code serves as the foundation for our legal system. However, since 1860 till now, we have adhered to the code that the British government established. But in a diverse country like India, you all understand how pointless the 164-year-old law is,” he continued. In addition, the Chief Minister believed that such an outdated statute was not entirely capable of delivering just justice in the quickly evolving society of today.
Thus, the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has enacted these two new laws after acknowledging the necessity for prompt reforms. According to him, these legislation will take effect on July 1st of this year. He said that the recently passed law was victim-centric after previously being criminal-centric. The primary goal of this fundamental shift is to provide justice quickly, openly, and fairly. The protection of people’ basic rights is the BNSS’s primary goal. According to him, the original law, the CrPC, has undergone several revisions to make police operations more equitable and lawful.
