Ashfaq Lone Deputy Chief Legal Aid Defence Counsel, Ashwani Sharma , DySP HQ Rajouri, Sh. Deepak Jasrotia DySP-CIO, Rajouri spoke on new laws and highlighted the salient features thereof.
While highlighting the need of new criminal laws, Ashfaq Lone Deputy Chief Legal Aid Defence Counsel, spoke that the earlier laws were largely influenced by the colonial mindset and lacked the humanist approach.
Most of the laws were arbitrary in nature and didn’t provide the scope for the use of modern technology in dealing with crime. These new laws allow the use of technology in dealing with crime and provide for the time bound disposal of cases.
Ashwani Sharma, DySP HQ Rajouri, while reiterating maxim, “Ignorance of law is no excuse” impressed upon all participants present there to study the said laws and make others aware as well.
Deepak Jasrotia, DySP-CIO, Rajouri also delivered an impressive lecture on new laws focusing on their bedrock on humanist values and are victim centric.
