Urdu compendium on three new criminal justice laws
Earlier on Wednesday, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has come out with a compendium on the three new criminal justice laws containing detailed provisions regarding investigation, arrest, search, seizure and prosecution in the Urdu language. Compiled and translated by a six-member committee headed by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mubassir Latifi, it was made public on Tuesday as Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo separately assessed the preparedness to implement the new laws scheduled to come into force in the Union territory from next month.
Director General of Police R R Swain released the book "Compendium on three new criminal laws - Teen Naye Foujdaari Qawaneen" and informative fliers on various provisions of these laws in Urdu language, a spokesperson said. The compendium has Urdu translations of the key changes brought out by Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). The three laws will replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Indian Evidence Act respectively.
