Ministry asked National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) to facilitate complete implementation of three new criminal laws in the ICJS 2.0 (Inter-operable Criminal Justice System 2.0).
- Emphasis should be placed on using of applications like eSakshya (assists in managing evidence), Nyaya Shruti (electronic judicial proceedings), eSign and eSummons in every state/UT.
- Alerts should be generated for all criminal cases at predefined stages and timelines, expediting the investigation process.
- NCRB should create a data rich platform to benefit the Investigation Officers and other stakeholder of Criminal Justice System.
