New criminal laws will have no bearing on UAPA and MCOCA: official

The Hindu  

Though terrorism has for the first time been defined as a separate offence in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, 2023, the other special law that deals with terrorist acts — the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act — will remain in practice, a senior government official said on August 11. The new Bill that seeks to repeal the Indian Penal Code, 1860, will have no bearing on other special laws such as the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999, and Acts governing the Central Bureau of Investigation, among others, the official added. The official added that the codes are being repealed to remove the “colonial” imprint on legal processes introduced 160 years ago to “protect the interests of the British and their government in London”. The BNSS that replaces CrPC will have 533 sections, in place of 478 sections earlier; 60 sections have been amended, nine new sections have been added and nine sections repealed or deleted.
