Draft Reports On The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita And Other Bills May Be Adopted 

Delhi/Hyderabad, Nov 5 (Hydnow): A parliamentary Committee scrutinizing three bills (1) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, (2) Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and (3) Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam to replace the existing criminal laws will meet on Monday to adopt draft reports. 

On October 27, the standing committee on Home could not adopt the three draft reports as some opposition members pressed for more time to study them.  

BJP sources said the committee has engaged in an extensive consultation process and will meet its deadline of three months.  The committee will now meet on November 6, according to a notice sent to members for adopting the three drafts. 

sources said the panel may adopt the draft reports despite protests by some of its members from the opposition parties, seeking a complete overhaul of colonial-era criminal laws.  

Home Minister Amit Shah had introduced in Lok Sabha during the Monsoon session three bills to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 with Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, respectively. 

The House later sent the bills after their introduction on August 11 to the committee for scrutiny and asked it to submit its report within three months. (Hydnow)
