Union Home Minister Amit Shah has sought suggestions from Members of Parliament and other stakeholders on the proposed amendments to the Indian Penal Code, CrPC and the Indian Evidence Act.

In a letter to the MPs and others, the home minister said that the experience of seven decades of Indian democracy calls for a comprehensive review of the criminal laws, especially the IPC 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act 1872 and adapt them in accordance with the contemporary needs and aspirations of the people.
