The overhaul
THE IPC, ADOPTED during the colonial period, contained many provisions that were out of touch with present-day sensibilities and emerging contours of criminal justice. Similarly, the CrPC also needed to be updated. Hence, the two new pieces of legislation. Various committees (Bezbaruah, Malimath, Madhav Menon, among others) had recommended reform of the criminal justice system as had many Law Commission reports.
In 2019, the government kicked off the exercise to replace the IPC and CrPC. A committee chaired by the vice-chancellor of the National Law University was tasked with drafting the new Codes. Extensive consultations, with states, the judiciary, the police, law universities, academics, MPs were held to draft the Codes.

Dr Manmohan Singh, RIP
The present generation (born after 1991) scarcely believes that there was an India with one television channel, one car, one airline, one telephone service provider, trunk calls, PCO/STD/ISD booths and long waiting lists for everything from two-wheelers to train tickets to passports.
