In short

Amit Shah said the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita will help finish cases from FIR to the Supreme Court within three years. He also said India’s criminal justice system will improve compared with past delays.

The report does not say when this will fully start or how it will be carried out. It also says he criticised Congress, but gives no further detail.

What the reporting says

Union Minister Amit Shah said the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita will ensure cases from FIR to the Supreme Court are disposed of in three years, according to the publisher summary. He argued India’s criminal justice system will improve versus earlier delays, and also criticised Congress over a cooperative ministry issue. The report does not provide the implementation date or any legal benchmark beyond the three-year claim.

Why it matters

Amit Shah’s remarks tied the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita to faster criminal case disposal, with a stated three-year timeline from FIR to the Supreme Court. The same summary says he contrasted the reform with older delays and criticised Congress on a separate cooperative ministry issue. The reporting does not specify whether he was announcing policy changes or restating an existing implementation plan.
