Bombay High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya said it is necessary to adopt new criminal laws with a fresh perspective, acknowledging the natural desire to oppose change. He urged individuals in charge of administering justice to embrace their obligations under the new legislative framework, which came into effect on July 1, reported PTI. 

Speaking at a Ministry of Law and Justice event titled `India`s Progressive Path in the Administration of Criminal Justice System`, CJ Upadhyaya emphasised the importance of the successful execution of the new criminal laws. He stated, "It is our natural tendency to resist change or we loathe to come out of our comfort zone. It is a fear of the unknown that causes this resistance and engulfs our rationale."
