The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has unveiled a significant digital tool ahead of the enforcement of new criminal laws set to take effect from July 1st. The newly launched mobile application, titled “NCRB Sankalan of Criminal Laws,” aims to serve as a comprehensive guide consolidating essential information about the upcoming legal reforms in one accessible platform.
Designed to cater to a wide audience ranging from the general public to legal professionals, the app includes detailed compilations of three major legislations: Bharatiya Nayaya Sanhita (Indian Penal Code), Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (Code of Criminal Procedure), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (Indian Evidence Act). It provides users with an indexed structure linking all chapters and sections of these new laws, facilitating ease of navigation and reference.
One of the key features of the app is its section-wise comparison between the old and new laws, enabling users to quickly grasp the changes brought about by the updated legislations. This comparison chart is supplemented by a robust search function, ensuring efficient retrieval of specific information even in offline mode, making it practical for use in areas with limited internet connectivity.
Available for download on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store, the ‘NCRB Sankalan of Criminal Laws’ app is poised to become an invaluable resource for a diverse range of stakeholders. It promises to empower court officers, advocates, law students, and police officers alike by enhancing their understanding and application of the updated criminal laws.
