Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Haryana has emerged as a model state in demonstrating how India’s new criminal justice framework can deliver swift and effective results. Recent cases highlight how the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 is enabling faster trials, efficient policing, and stronger public trust in law enforcement.
Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Dr. Sumita Misra, said that the Union Home Ministry has highlighted Haryana for its exemplary implementation of the new criminal laws, with two standout success stories from the state being selected among the top five nationwide for circulation.
She further elaborated on a case in District Nuh, where dangerous truck parking on the Delhi-Mumbai Highway was resolved with unprecedented speed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023. Raj Lallan Singh had recklessly parked his truck, creating serious traffic obstruction and endangering public safety. Through exemplary police work by Sub-Inspector Pratap Singh of Nagina Police Station, the case progressed seamlessly from FIR registration to conviction. A charge sheet was filed within just 40 days, and the accused voluntarily admitted guilt before the JMIC Court, Ferozpur Jhirka. The court imposed a ₹5,000 fine, reflecting both the efficiency of the new legal system and its focus on public safety.
In another equally impressive case from Rewari, Model Town Police employed modern investigative techniques to crack a bag-snatching incident. Accused Hemant and Jitender had stolen cash, a mobile phone, and valuables. The police quickly identified and arrested them using CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts, while the stolen items were also recovered. The victim’s positive identification during a Test Identification Parade further strengthened the case. A charge sheet was filed within 41 days, and Hemant admitted guilt, leading to his swift conviction under BNS 2023 provisions.
“These success stories underline how in Haryana the Police, Prosecution and the judiciary have fully embraced the transformative potential of India’s new criminal laws. Prompt FIR registration, evidence-based investigation, technology-driven policing, and efficient judicial processes are redefining justice delivery. From traffic violations to street crimes, Haryana is setting a new benchmark for swift, fair, and sustainable justice—serving as an inspiring example for the entire nation,” she added.
