Home Minister Amit Shah has said that three new criminal laws will ensure time-bound justice from the Sessions Court to the Supreme Court by 2029. He made these remarks while chairing a Parliamentary Consultative Committee meeting of the Ministry of Home Affairs at Sri Vijaya Puram in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands yesterday.

Mr Shah highlighted that the new criminal laws are accelerating investigations and increasing the conviction rate. He said the Home Ministry has held 12 meetings of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee since 2019, which have yielded positive results.

Mr Shah further noted that in 2021, there were no mobile forensic labs in the country, whereas today the number has reached 1,000. He also mentioned that an investment of 30 thousand crore rupees will be made over the next five years to establish a network of forensic labs across the country.

The Minister added that by 2029, every state in the country will have a forensic university or a Central Forensic Laboratory.
