Why the New Criminal Laws Are a 'Posthumous Tribute to Lord Macaulay #DilsewithKapilSibal

In this Episode of @DilsewithKapilSibal The new criminal code and the manner in which it was rolled out has already garnered a lot of controversy. While the government has claimed that it wants to get rid of the laws of the colonial era, this promise has not been realised. Only 5-7% has been changed, says Kapil Sibal. The senior advocate discusses how the new laws have held on to their colonial past with three eminent guests.

Congress's Sivaganga MP P. Chidambaram is an eminent lawyer and has held key portfolios in the union cabinet. Chidambaram sheds light on the government aspect of the laws and how they are framed and brought to being. 

Justice Madan Lokur is a former a judge of the Supreme Court of India and current judge at the topmost court of Fiji. Justice Lokur has been chief justice of two high courts and was a noted advocate before that. He highlights the constitutional and legal challenges with the new laws.

Justice Mukta Gupta is a former judge of the Delhi high court and had been prosecutor in key cases. Justice Gupta has been speaking on these laws all over the country, also at the IAS Academy.

I absolutely love the whole of the panel and you explain everything and in quite the detail.... Thank you.


I want to try and ask you to get a panel of opposing views as well(I know they may not be willing) otherwise we are subject to create an echo chamber and soon become what we are opposing.

Article 21 of the Constitution is the touchstone to assess the constitutional validity of these three laws viz Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakhya Adhiniyam, 2023 which were pushed through the parliament with through debates and discussions. As many as 143 odd MPs from both the Houses were expelled were vigorously demanding for debates and referring the three draft laws to the Standing committee of the
Lok Sabha for thorough scrutiny.

Acc. to S173 Of BNSS, police can register FIR irrespective of area where offence is committed but as per S175 of BNSS, it can only be investigated by the police having jurisdiction over the area. Police of one state cannot investigate offence in another state.

Lord Macaulay की शिक्षा प्रणाली की वजह से आज का युवा परेशान है....सोचने की शमता का विकास ही नहीं उसने ध्यान को मार दिया😢

[blueheaven]

Highly interesting & intellectual conversation between eminent personalities of society that no 9pm debate would ever do justice to.

[thecontrarycontrarian]

Posthumous tribute was given by B R Ambedkar in 1951 and now by Amit Shah in 2024. People in power are so fond of Lord Macaulay.

[mahendrasinghpawar]

It appears that the new laws were drafted by a public prosecutor.

[twqqcpj]

Good episode with eminent personalities

[vineetgupta]

Means only power, money oriented person will get heard. And moreover if you are associate with political party which is in power, will only give you guarantee, to be heard.
