The three criminal laws: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam will replace the old Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act. 

With new criminal laws coming into force, now the question is, will All India Bar Examination 19 be conducted based on old or new criminal law? AIBE 19 Exam Dates have not been announced yet. Candidates have been eagerly awaiting for the Bar Council of India to release AIBE 19 Notification 2024. Though it has not been cleared that the three new criminal laws will be included in AIBE 19 Syllabus 2024, it is expected that the AIBE 19 Exam will be held on the basis of old criminal laws. However, candidates must check 10 key points of new criminal laws below:

• Judgements in criminal cases have to be rendered 45 days following the conclusion of the trial. Within sixty days following the initial hearing, charges must be filed. To guarantee the security and cooperation of witnesses, all state governments are required to put in place witness protection programmes.

   

• A female police officer will record statements from rape victims while the victim's guardian or family is present. The deadline for completing medical reports is seven days.

   

• Crimes against women and children are covered in a new chapter of the legislation. A child being bought or sold is considered a horrible crime with harsh punishments. A kid who is gang-raped may receive a life sentence or the death penalty.

• Women who are deserted after being duped by fictitious marriage pledges now face penalties under the law.

   

• Within ninety days, victims of crimes against women are entitled to regular updates on their cases. Free first-aid or medical care must be given to victims of crimes against women and children at all hospitals.

   

• Copies of the police report, charge sheet, statements, confessions, and other documents must be sent to the victim and the accused within 14 days of each other. A court may adjourn for a maximum of two times in order to prevent needless delays in case hearings.

• It is no longer necessary to attend a police station to report an incident; instead, reports can be made electronically. Since the implementation of Zero FIR, anyone, regardless of jurisdiction, can file a First Information Report at any police station.

   

• An individual who has been arrested is entitled to notify a person of their choosing about their circumstances in order to get prompt assistance. Police stations and district offices will prominently post arrest details so that friends and family can easily access them.

   

• Forensic specialists are now required to visit crime scenes in order to gather evidence in cases of major offences.

   

• Transgender persons are now included in the definition of "gender". When feasible, a female magistrate should record victim statements for specific offences against women.
