In a significant development, three British laws have been replaced with Indian criminal laws, marking a major milestone in the country's legal system. According to Ashwini Upadhyay, a senior advocate, this move is expected to bring about a new era of transparency and efficiency in police investigations.
One of the key highlights of this overhaul is the introduction of a fixed timeline for FIR filing and police investigation. This means that individuals can now file an FIR in any part of the country, without being restricted by geographical boundaries. The fixed timeline is also expected to ensure that investigations are completed in a timely manner, reducing the likelihood of delays and bureaucratic red tape.

The replacement of British laws with Indian criminal laws is seen as a significant step towards greater autonomy for the country's legal system. It is expected to bring about a more nuanced understanding of Indian laws and customs, which can only be beneficial for the country's justice system.
As the new laws come into effect, it will be interesting to see how they impact the way police investigations are conducted in India. With a fixed timeline and the ability to file FIRs from anywhere in the country, this could lead to greater accountability and transparency in law enforcement.
