On August 4, 2024, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched the e-Sakshya, Nyaya Setu, Nyaya Shruti, and e-Summon apps in Chandigarh to support the implementation of three new criminal laws: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).
The e-Sakshya app enables officers to capture and transmit crime scene evidence, witness information, and photos/videos securely to an evidence locker, linking it to the charge sheet for electronic access by the court.
Nyaya Shruti streamlines court hearings via video conferencing, sending alerts and links to police, prisons, prosecution, and forensics whenever summons or warrants are issued.
e-Summons electronically transmits court orders like summons and warrants to the police, who then receive and deliver them via their mobile devices.
