Imphal, Jul 18 (PTI) Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Saturday said the success of new criminal laws depends on the coordinated functioning of the police, prosecution, judiciary and the prison administration.
By new criminal laws, he was referring to the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).
Speaking at the inauguration of a two-day Seminar on Criminal Justice Administration, he said the new legal framework marked a historic shift from colonial-era laws to a modern, citizen-centric justice system that emphasises speedy justice, victims’ rights, technology and scientific investigation.
Bhalla also stressed that the success of these reforms depends on the coordinated functioning of the police, prosecution, judiciary and prison administration.
He also stated that strengthening these institutions is vital for fostering public confidence, maintaining peace and advancing development in Manipur.
“The administration of criminal justice is the cornerstone of a democratic society, safeguarding citizens’ rights, maintaining public order and reinforcing confidence in constitutional institutions,” the governor said. PTI COR NN
