Before Parliament passed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Indian Medical Association wrote to Home Minister asking for death by medical negligence to be treated as civil, not criminal, matter.
Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita has provision criminalising printing/publishing 'any matter' concerning court proceedings in rape/sexual assault cases without prior permission.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, 2023, passed by Lok Sabha Wednesday, prescribes 5-yr jail term for causing death by negligence for all but registered medical practitioners.
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which has replaced IPC, also introduces life term or death sentence for mob lynching & hate-crime murders. It replaces the term mental illness with 'unsound mind'.
Eight of the 28 panel members give dissent note on Hindi title. Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita proposes changes like removing offence of sedition, defining terrorism & organised crime.
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, introduced in Lok Sabha in August to replace IPC, has also sought to introduce a new provision dealing with crimes linked to mob lynching and hate.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
