MHA Tableau to Highlight Nationwide Rollout of Naveen Nyaya Sanhitas at Republic Day Parade

The Ministry of Home Affairs will present a tableau highlighting the nationwide implementation of the Naveen Nyaya Sanhita, namely the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, which came into force on 1^st July 2024. The enactment of these three laws has been one of the biggest reforms in this century. By removing the colonial legacy based on the principle of punishment, these laws symbolise aspiration of vikasit Bharat by adopting Indian philosophy of ‘justice.’ (दण्ड से न्याय की ओर)”.

The tableau will be showcased on Kartavya Path during the 77^th Republic Day Parade, highlighting the nationwide operationalisation of the new laws and India’s transition to a modern, technology-driven, time-bound, and citizen-centric justice system.

Key features showcased in the tableau include the use of e-Sakshya for digital evidence collection, the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) for biometric identification, e-Summon enabling digitally signed summons to be issued electronically by courts, and technology-enabled court processes such as virtual hearings. It represents seamless integration among police, forensics, prosecution, courts, and prisons under the Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) framework. The mobile forensic units depicted in the tableau symbolise improved forensic reach and rapid response at crime scenes.

The tableau also highlights swift response mechanisms, depicted through integrated control-room systems, enhanced surveillance infrastructure such as CCTV cameras, and the increasing role of trained women police personnel in field operations and response units. The inclusion of community service as a reformative form of punishment under the new laws reflects a progressive and humane approach to justice.

The multilingual representation of the new law books underscores the Government’s commitment to accessibility, inclusiveness, and transparency, ensuring that the reformed legal framework is understandable and accessible to citizens across the country.

The Ministry of Home Affairs’ tableau conveys India’s decisive move towards a modern, professional, and technology-driven justice system, reinforcing constitutional values and strengthening public trust through certainty, speed, and dignity in the delivery of justice.Bottom of Form
