Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha presided over the implementation ceremony of the new Laws in J&K, at Police Headquarters.
By incorporating technological advancements, new laws will enhance the efficiency and transparency of our justice system. This includes the use of digital tools for evidence collection, case management, and communication among the five pillars of the criminal justice system, he observed.
He underlined the need to remain vigilant about the potential misuse of technology, which could undermine the very justice we look to uphold. He also spoke on the substantial investment in infrastructure and training required with the integration of forensic technology and digital procedures.
Ensuring data security and protecting the privacy of individuals is paramount. It is imperative to build robust systems that create a firewall against criminals, protect our citizens, and foster peace and development.
He called for collective efforts to realize the full potential of the new reforms and ensure that justice is served efficiently and equitably.
He emphasised that all the stakeholders of the criminal justice system must nurture new laws collaboratively.
“We embark on a journey towards a more just and fair society. These reforms uphold the rule of law, protect human rights, and ensure justice. The major challenge of training our core personnel in all the verticals has been accomplished, including joint training.
