The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL challenging India's new criminal laws, stating they contain "defects and discrepancies." Justices Bela M Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal rejected the petition saying the filing was casual . Advocate Vishal Tiwari sought a stay on the laws, claiming they were enacted without proper debate. The laws aim to replace the IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act. They introduce harsher penalties for sedition and terrorism.
