In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Message from FLI NET Partners
The recent FLI NET UK Spring Conference that took place in London/Birmingham about
four months ago was a memorable experience for us at Llinks Law Offices and it also
offered a valuable opportunity to about 45 attending global partner firms. During the
conference, we had the pleasure of meeting numbers of reputable leading firms from all
over the world, with whom solid business cooperation has been established by Llinks
Law Offices.
Meanwhile, we pro-actively conducted some practice in the fields of
Leisure/Entertainment/Hospitality & Automotive in China, and introduced Orlando
Casares (First Law International’s Principal) to Jinjiang Group and Shanghai Automobile
Import & Export CO., LTD (“SACO”). Jinjiang Group and SACO are large-size
companies holding leading positions in the above two areas respectively. From a long-
run perspective, LLinks and FLI will aim to develop continuous global scale business
cooperation.
We highly recommend attending the next Regional Fall Conference to all FLI NET
Partners and clients interested in the relevant areas. It will be held on November 12-13,
2015 in Manila, Philippines.
