Amit Shah Proposes Swift Judicial Reforms: Seven-Day Window for Acquittal Pleas, 120-Day Trial Period, and Mandatory Document Submission in 30 Days

Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha says, “Now the accused will get seven days to file a plea for acquittal. The judge has to hold the hearing in those seven days and in a maximum time of 120 days, the case would come to trial. There was no time limit for plea bargaining earlier. Now if one accepts their crime within 30 days of the crime then the punishment would be less. There was no provision to present documents during trials. We have made it compulsory to produce all documents within 30 days. No delays will be made in that.”
