Involve the public in the Penal Code amendment

The Ministry of Justice, the custodian of justice sector, is putting up the proposed amendments to the Penal Code and sectoral laws to accommodate them to the new trends. The fact that it is a matter of fundamental importance, public must be proactively engaged to share their views. I doubt if anyone who understands the contemporary trends would be against the ongoing amendments of the Penal Code. If you’re in a society that moves like a flowing stream rather than a stagnant pond, you would definitely welcome these changes. In general, the purpose of the ongoing review exercise is to ensure that emerging situations that are unregulated can be accommodated in current amendment. As the society evolves, it becomes crucially important to review and subsequently amend unnecessary provisions and incorporate the new ones that would match with the changing society.
