He also highlighted features of the new criminal laws that have replaced the archaic provisions. The provisions related to Forensic Evidence Collection in the new laws aim to strengthen the case and investigations, making it mandatory for forensic experts to visit crime sites for serious offences and collect evidence in offences which are punishable for seven years or more. Additionally, the process of evidence collection at the crime site is mandatorily video-graphed to prevent tampering of evidence.This dual approach significantly enhances the quality and reliability of investigations and contributes to a fair administration of justice.
