Shah Predicts Three-Year Case Timeline After Criminal Laws Fully Implemented
Amit Shah spoke in Bhopal about India’s new criminal laws.
He said that when they are fully in place, a case could move from a police report to the Supreme Court and be finished within three years.
He estimated full implementation would take about a year and a half.
Shah said the laws are meant to focus on justice, with punishment used to discourage crime.
He also spoke about cooperatives and people who raise cattle.
He said milk production had increased, though reports gave two different figures for the earlier total.
The event included plans for milk-processing facilities and other dairy initiatives.
These timelines and figures were claims Shah made in his speech.
Amit Shah said cases could be disposed of within three years from FIR filing to the Supreme Court once the new criminal laws are fully implemented, which he estimated would take about a year and a half.
He said the laws prioritize justice over punishment and described them as protecting Indian citizens; he also said they incorporate technology and forensic investigations.
Shah criticized Congress over the absence of a separate Ministry of Cooperation for 75 years and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government with establishing one.
He cited milk production figures of 14.6 crore tonnes or 14.7 crore tonnes before the recent increase to 25 crore tonnes, differing across reports, and said per-capita availability had risen from 307 to 485 grams daily.
The Bhopal event included a cattle rearers’ conference and new-law exhibition; officials also announced a Rs 255-crore milk plant in Ujjain and a Rs 17-crore unit at the Bhopal Milk Union.
