Raipur: On July 1, 2024, in Raipur, significant legal reforms were enacted with the introduction of the Indian Judicial Code, Indian Civil Defence Code, and a newly formulated Evidence Act. These new codes have been instituted to replace the previously existing frameworks, which included the Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, and the older version of the Evidence Act. This transition marks a substantial overhaul of the legal system, aimed at modernizing and improving the administration of justice, civil defense mechanisms, and the rules governing the admissibility and handling of evidence in legal proceedings.
