By Economic Times - 2 months ago
Congress leader P Chidambaram praised Tamil Nadu's move to appoint a committee for state-specific amendments to new criminal laws. He emphasised that criminal law falls under concurrent jurisdiction, allowing state legislatures to make changes aligned with modern criminal justice principles. He welcomed Justice (retd) K.Sathyanarayanan's appointment to lead the committee and urged consultations with various stakeholders. Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin initiated the process for state-specific amendments by forming a one-man committee led by Justice M Sathyanarayanan to study and propose changes to the laws within a month.
