Mumbai, Nov 19 (IANS) Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said that new criminal laws have the potential to increase conviction rates to 90 per cent, saying that victims are getting justice within a certain time frame now.

He further stated that there was no provision in the British-era criminal laws that would help in convictions in new-age crimes where the investigations depend on digital and electronic evidence. As a result, the victims of various crimes had to wait for a long time for justice.

However, now, with the implementation of the new criminal laws by the Central Government, he claimed that the victims were getting justice within a certain time frame.

The CM was speaking after the inauguration of a five-day exhibition based on the new criminal laws at Azad Maidan.
