Port Blair, July 2: The New Criminal Laws came into force in the country on 1st July, 2024 making it a historic day for the Indian system of criminal jurisprudence. The laws are citizen and victim friendly that are aimed at bringing about greater transparency, accessibility, accountability and quick redressal to the grievances of the public.

One major step in this direction is the introduction of Zero FIR under Section 173 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. A complainant can now file FIR anywhere in the country, irrespective of the place of occurrence of crime. This provision will ensure beginning of legal proceedings immediately, without undue delay on the part of the police.
