Karnataka Government Opposes New Criminal Laws

The Karnataka government opposes the new criminal laws - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam - implemented from July 1. The state claims its suggestions were ignored by the Centre. Karnataka Law Minister H K Patil argues these new laws have more disadvantages and should have been implemented during BJP's previous tenure.

The Karnataka government expressed firm opposition towards the three new criminal laws enacted on July 1, alleging exclusion from the decision-making process.

In a recent press conference, Karnataka Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H K Patil criticized the Central government, claiming that their 23 recommendations were ignored. The new laws - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) - replace the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and Indian Evidence Act.

Patil emphasized the perceived political and ethical unfairness of implementing these laws post the previous BJP government's tenure, highlighting several objections and potential constitutional amendments needed to address flaws in the new legislation.
