India has implemented three new criminal laws, effective from July 1, 2024, replacing colonial-era legislation. The new laws introduce several significant changes, including the provision of community service for minor offenses, a victim-centric approach ensuring equality, and stronger protections for women and children. The laws also aim to combat terrorism, human trafficking, and acid attacks. The government has prepared for the rollout with meetings, educational mandates, training programs, and a coordinated publicity campaign. Despite these efforts, opposition groups and lawyers have raised concerns about the hasty implementation and lack of proper consultation. Home Minister Amit Shah mentioned holding 158 meetings to discuss the new laws. The new laws allow for filing FIRs at any police station, reporting incidents electronically, and mandate judgments within 45 days of trial completion. The first FIR under the new laws was registered against a street vendor in New Delhi.
