India's parliament has passed momentous bills to replace the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and Evidence Act, as well as the Provisional Collection of Taxes Bill, amidst the suspension of a record number of opposition members. The bills were pushed through despite the absence of most opposition lawmakers who were suspended for disrupting proceedings. The Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Bill, 2023 was also passed. This rushed overhaul of the criminal justice system has raised concerns among rights campaigners about the concentration of power in the hands of authorities.
