fetchpriority="high"/></div></div></div></section></div> </div>NEW DELHI: After dragging its feet for years, the UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency - christened National Investigating Agency (NIA) - and tightened the relevant laws to allow wiretaps being used as evidence, in camera trials and fast track special courts to deal with terror cases. (<a href="javascript:broadbandpopup(%27http://broadband.indiatimes.com/toishowvideo/3844148.cms%27,450,665)" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" styleObj="[object Object]" class="" frmappuse="1">Watch</a>)<br/>The Union cabinet defined the powers of the NIA at a late evening meeting.<div id="poll-widget"><div data-type="in_view" class="tracking_pixel "><img src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/25581306.cms" alt="1x1 polls"/></div><div class="ge4Md " style="overflow:hidden;transition:height 0.3s ease;min-height:209px"><div data-type="in_view" class="loadable-inview "><div><span class="UzraQ null"><span class="aQKeu loadeblecomponentloader"></span></span></div></div></div></div>The Agency would be free to take up terror-related crimes on its own across states without getting special permission from states (law and order being a State subject). Drug trafficking and counterfeit currency have been clubbed together with terrorism as designated ``scheduled crimes'' that can be dealt by the NIA.<br/>As anticiaped by TOI on December 7, the Union Cabinet also cleared significant changes to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), including setting up of fast track courts for speedy trial of terror-related cases. <br/>The Bill for setting up NIA and amemdments to UAPA are expected to be moved in Parliament on Tuesday itself.<br/><div class="js_tbl_2ad"></div><div class="mgid_second_mrec_parent"><div id="taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-3842368" class="wdt-taboola" data-target_type="mix" data-mode="thumbnails-mid" data-placement="Mid Article Thumbnails 1" data-pagetype="article" style="max-height:415px;overflow:hidden" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div>The Cabinet also cleared a change in the charter of CISF to allow the para military force to provide security to individuals in what is seen as a recognition of the fact that industrialists and sports personalities also feature on the hit list of terrorists.<br/>On the whole, the Cabinet appears to have juggled the new urgency on terror post-Mumbai with its political anxiety about the potential misuse of tough laws. Consequently, while the cabinet decided to set up NIA and amend certain provisions of the law, it did not approve a special anti-terror law or the admissibility of confessions before cops.<div class="mgid_country_osv_parent"><div id="ad_6e9c4-osv-mrec-3842368" class="adInv undefined" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div><br/>The proposal of a special anti-terror law, hinted of by law minister H R Bhardwaj on Saturday, did not find favour with senior ministers, with railway minister Lalu Prasad and steel minister Ramvilas Paswan speaking of the fear of a tough law being misused against minorities, tribals and others.<br/>The Cabinet also turned down some of the strong proposals - notably for putting the onus of proving innocence on the accused, and to treat accused's statement in police custody as evidence against him during the trial.<br/>But the amendments to be carried out through the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act( Amendment) Bill are significant and will give greater teeth to the law. Thus, the Cabinet has cleared changes in the Evidence Act to allow for for the admissibility of electronic intercepts as evidence - a belated recognition of the fact that finding witnesses against terrorists may be difficult. This was part of the now-defuct POTA and is contained in Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).<br/>The changes will allow for trial in camera to protect witnesses whose identity and addresses can also be withheld for security reasons. For this purpose, the case can also be shifted to any other court, deemed more secure for witnesses, by the High Court.<br/>The Special Courts will be a fast track mechanism to presided over by Sessions Judges or Aditional District Judges to be selected by the respective High Courts. An appeal against the order of the Special Court will lie with the High Court, and has to be filed within 30 days. The High Court will have 90 days to dispose of the appeal.<br/>The period for which an accused can be kept in police custody under UAPA is being extended to 30 days from 15 days at present. The 90-day deadline for filing the chargesheet has not been changed because of reservations expressed by the members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet also rejected a proposal for preventive detention of terror suspects, following apprehensions of misuse raised by ministers. In this case, even law minister H R Bhardwaj was not sure of the measure passing judicial muster.<br/>The proposed law for setting up the NIA envisages police officers at the level of SHOs across the country can pass on information of a ``scheduled crime'' to agency within 15 days of registration of a crime. If the agency decides to take up investigations, its officer will assume the investigation powers of the local cop with regard to the concerned crime.<br/></div><div class="js_tbl_readmore_btn"

DELHI: After dragging its feet for years, the UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency - christened National Investigating Agency (NIA) - and tightened the relevant laws to allow wiretaps being used as evidence, in camera trials and fast track special courts to deal with terror cases. (Watch)The Union cabinet defined the powers of the NIA at a late evening meeting. The Agency would be free to take up terror-related crimes on its own across states without getting special permission from states (law and order being a State subject). Drug trafficking and counterfeit currency have been clubbed together with terrorism as designated ``scheduled crimes'' that can be dealt by the NIA.As anticiaped by TOI on December 7, the Union Cabinet also cleared significant changes to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), including setting up of fast track courts for speedy trial of terror-related cases. The Bill for setting up NIA and amemdments to UAPA are expected to be moved in Parliament on Tuesday itself.The Cabinet also cleared a change in the charter of CISF to allow the para military force to provide security to individuals in what is seen as a recognition of the fact that industrialists and sports personalities also feature on the hit list of terrorists.On the whole, the Cabinet appears to have juggled the new urgency on terror post-Mumbai with its political anxiety about the potential misuse of tough laws. Consequently, while the cabinet decided to set up NIA and amend certain provisions of the law, it did not approve a special anti-terror law or the admissibility of confessions before cops.The proposal of a special anti-terror law, hinted of by law minister H R Bhardwaj on Saturday, did not find favour with senior ministers, with railway minister Lalu Prasad and steel minister Ramvilas Paswan speaking of the fear of a tough law being misused against minorities, tribals and others.The Cabinet also turned down some of the strong proposals - notably for putting the onus of proving innocence on the accused, and to treat accused's statement in police custody as evidence against him during the trial.But the amendments to be carried out through the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act( Amendment) Bill are significant and will give greater teeth to the law. Thus, the Cabinet has cleared changes in the Evidence Act to allow for for the admissibility of electronic intercepts as evidence - a belated recognition of the fact that finding witnesses against terrorists may be difficult. This was part of the now-defuct POTA and is contained in Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).The changes will allow for trial in camera to protect witnesses whose identity and addresses can also be withheld for security reasons. For this purpose, the case can also be shifted to any other court, deemed more secure for witnesses, by the High Court.The Special Courts will be a fast track mechanism to presided over by Sessions Judges or Aditional District Judges to be selected by the respective High Courts. An appeal against the order of the Special Court will lie with the High Court, and has to be filed within 30 days. The High Court will have 90 days to dispose of the appeal.The period for which an accused can be kept in police custody under UAPA is being extended to 30 days from 15 days at present. The 90-day deadline for filing the chargesheet has not been changed because of reservations expressed by the members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet also rejected a proposal for preventive detention of terror suspects, following apprehensions of misuse raised by ministers. In this case, even law minister H R Bhardwaj was not sure of the measure passing judicial muster.The proposed law for setting up the NIA envisages police officers at the level of SHOs across the country can pass on information of a ``scheduled crime'' to agency within 15 days of registration of a crime. If the agency decides to take up investigations, its officer will assume the investigation powers of the local cop with regard to the concerned crime. \",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Findia\u002Ffinally-govt-clears-central-terror-agency-tougher-laws\u002Farticleshow\u002F3842368.cms\",\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"headline\":\"Finally, govt clears central terror agency, tougher laws\",\"keywords\":\"India News,India Latest News, News, Times Of India, Latest news\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Findia\u002Ffinally-govt-clears-central-terror-agency-tougher-laws\u002Farticleshow\u002F3842368.cms\",\"datePublished\":\"2008-12-16T00:04:00+05:30\",\"dateModified\":\"2008-12-16T00:04:00+05:30\",\"description\":\"India News: The UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency, christened National Investigating Agency, and also proposed to tighten the relev\",\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fstatic.toiimg.com\u002Fthumb\u002Fmsid-47529300,width-1280,height-720,imgsize-110164,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-40\u002Fphoto.jpg\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Thing\",\"name\":\"TNN\"},\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Times Of India\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002F\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fstatic.toiimg.com\u002Fphoto\u002Fmsid-92877370\u002F92877370.jpg\",\"width\":600,\"height\":60}},\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fstatic.toiimg.com\u002Fthumb\u002Fresizemode-4,width-1280,height-720,msid-47529300\u002F47529300.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":720}}","{\"@context\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\u002F\",\"@type\":\"ViewAction\",\"target\":{\"type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"android-app:\u002F\u002Fcom.toi.reader.activities\u002Ftoi.index.deeplink\u002Ft\u002Fa\u002F3842368\"}}"],"ogType":"article","article":true,"hreflang":[],"agencyName":"TNN"},"schema":["{\"@context\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\u002F\",\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"name\":\"Finally, govt clears central terror agency, tougher laws\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Findia\u002Ffinally-govt-clears-central-terror-agency-tougher-laws\u002Farticleshow\u002F3842368.cms\"}","{\"@context\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\",\"articleBody\":\"NEW DELHI: After dragging its feet for years, the UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency - christened National Investigating Agency (NIA) - and tightened the relevant laws to allow wiretaps being used as evidence, in camera trials and fast track special courts to deal with terror cases.

DELHI: After dragging its feet for years, the UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency - christened National Investigating Agency (NIA) - and tightened the relevant laws to allow wiretaps being used as evidence, in camera trials and fast track special courts to deal with terror cases. (Watch)The Union cabinet defined the powers of the NIA at a late evening meeting. The Agency would be free to take up terror-related crimes on its own across states without getting special permission from states (law and order being a State subject). Drug trafficking and counterfeit currency have been clubbed together with terrorism as designated ``scheduled crimes'' that can be dealt by the NIA.As anticiaped by TOI on December 7, the Union Cabinet also cleared significant changes to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), including setting up of fast track courts for speedy trial of terror-related cases. The Bill for setting up NIA and amemdments to UAPA are expected to be moved in Parliament on Tuesday itself.The Cabinet also cleared a change in the charter of CISF to allow the para military force to provide security to individuals in what is seen as a recognition of the fact that industrialists and sports personalities also feature on the hit list of terrorists.On the whole, the Cabinet appears to have juggled the new urgency on terror post-Mumbai with its political anxiety about the potential misuse of tough laws. Consequently, while the cabinet decided to set up NIA and amend certain provisions of the law, it did not approve a special anti-terror law or the admissibility of confessions before cops.The proposal of a special anti-terror law, hinted of by law minister H R Bhardwaj on Saturday, did not find favour with senior ministers, with railway minister Lalu Prasad and steel minister Ramvilas Paswan speaking of the fear of a tough law being misused against minorities, tribals and others.The Cabinet also turned down some of the strong proposals - notably for putting the onus of proving innocence on the accused, and to treat accused's statement in police custody as evidence against him during the trial.But the amendments to be carried out through the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act( Amendment) Bill are significant and will give greater teeth to the law. Thus, the Cabinet has cleared changes in the Evidence Act to allow for for the admissibility of electronic intercepts as evidence - a belated recognition of the fact that finding witnesses against terrorists may be difficult. This was part of the now-defuct POTA and is contained in Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).The changes will allow for trial in camera to protect witnesses whose identity and addresses can also be withheld for security reasons. For this purpose, the case can also be shifted to any other court, deemed more secure for witnesses, by the High Court.The Special Courts will be a fast track mechanism to presided over by Sessions Judges or Aditional District Judges to be selected by the respective High Courts. An appeal against the order of the Special Court will lie with the High Court, and has to be filed within 30 days. The High Court will have 90 days to dispose of the appeal.The period for which an accused can be kept in police custody under UAPA is being extended to 30 days from 15 days at present. The 90-day deadline for filing the chargesheet has not been changed because of reservations expressed by the members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet also rejected a proposal for preventive detention of terror suspects, following apprehensions of misuse raised by ministers. In this case, even law minister H R Bhardwaj was not sure of the measure passing judicial muster.The proposed law for setting up the NIA envisages police officers at the level of SHOs across the country can pass on information of a ``scheduled crime'' to agency within 15 days of registration of a crime. If the agency decides to take up investigations, its officer will assume the investigation powers of the local cop with regard to the concerned crime. \",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Findia\u002Ffinally-govt-clears-central-terror-agency-tougher-laws\u002Farticleshow\u002F3842368.cms\",\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"headline\":\"Finally, govt clears central terror agency, tougher laws\",\"keywords\":\"India News,India Latest News, News, Times Of India, Latest news\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Findia\u002Ffinally-govt-clears-central-terror-agency-tougher-laws\u002Farticleshow\u002F3842368.cms\",\"datePublished\":\"2008-12-16T00:04:00+05:30\",\"dateModified\":\"2008-12-16T00:04:00+05:30\",\"description\":\"India News: The UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency, christened National Investigating Agency, and also proposed to tighten the relev\",\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fstatic.toiimg.com\u002Fthumb\u002Fmsid-47529300,width-1280,height-720,imgsize-110164,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-40\u002Fphoto.jpg\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Thing\",\"name\":\"TNN\"},\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Times Of India\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002F\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fstatic.toiimg.com\u002Fphoto\u002Fmsid-92877370\u002F92877370.jpg\",\"width\":600,\"height\":60}},\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fstatic.toiimg.com\u002Fthumb\u002Fresizemode-4,width-1280,height-720,msid-47529300\u002F47529300.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":720}}","{\"@context\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\u002F\",\"@type\":\"ViewAction\",\"target\":{\"type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"android-app:\u002F\u002Fcom.toi.reader.activities\u002Ftoi.index.deeplink\u002Ft\u002Fa\u002F3842368\"}}"],"ogType":"article","article":true,"hreflang":[],"agencyName":"TNN"},"schema":["{\"@context\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\u002F\",\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"name\":\"Finally, govt clears central terror agency, tougher laws\",\"url\":\"https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Findia\u002Ffinally-govt-clears-central-terror-agency-tougher-laws\u002Farticleshow\u002F3842368.cms\"}","{\"@context\":\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\",\"articleBody\":\"NEW DELHI: After dragging its feet for years, the UPA government on Monday finally cleared a central terror agency - christened National Investigating Agency (NIA) - and tightened the relevant laws to allow wiretaps being used as evidence, in camera trials and fast track special courts to deal with terror cases.

(Watch)The Union cabinet defined the powers of the NIA at a late evening meeting. The Agency would be free to take up terror-related crimes on its own across states without getting special permission from states (law and order being a State subject). Drug trafficking and counterfeit currency have been clubbed together with terrorism as designated ``scheduled crimes'' that can be dealt by the NIA.As anticiaped by TOI on December 7, the Union Cabinet also cleared significant changes to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), including setting up of fast track courts for speedy trial of terror-related cases. The Bill for setting up NIA and amemdments to UAPA are expected to be moved in Parliament on Tuesday itself.The Cabinet also cleared a change in the charter of CISF to allow the para military force to provide security to individuals in what is seen as a recognition of the fact that industrialists and sports personalities also feature on the hit list of terrorists.On the whole, the Cabinet appears to have juggled the new urgency on terror post-Mumbai with its political anxiety about the potential misuse of tough laws. Consequently, while the cabinet decided to set up NIA and amend certain provisions of the law, it did not approve a special anti-terror law or the admissibility of confessions before cops.The proposal of a special anti-terror law, hinted of by law minister H R Bhardwaj on Saturday, did not find favour with senior ministers, with railway minister Lalu Prasad and steel minister Ramvilas Paswan speaking of the fear of a tough law being misused against minorities, tribals and others.The Cabinet also turned down some of the strong proposals - notably for putting the onus of proving innocence on the accused, and to treat accused's statement in police custody as evidence against him during the trial.But the amendments to be carried out through the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act( Amendment) Bill are significant and will give greater teeth to the law. Thus, the Cabinet has cleared changes in the Evidence Act to allow for for the admissibility of electronic intercepts as evidence - a belated recognition of the fact that finding witnesses against terrorists may be difficult. This was part of the now-defuct POTA and is contained in Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).The changes will allow for trial in camera to protect witnesses whose identity and addresses can also be withheld for security reasons. For this purpose, the case can also be shifted to any other court, deemed more secure for witnesses, by the High Court.The Special Courts will be a fast track mechanism to presided over by Sessions Judges or Aditional District Judges to be selected by the respective High Courts. An appeal against the order of the Special Court will lie with the High Court, and has to be filed within 30 days. The High Court will have 90 days to dispose of the appeal.The period for which an accused can be kept in police custody under UAPA is being extended to 30 days from 15 days at present. The 90-day deadline for filing the chargesheet has not been changed because of reservations expressed by the members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet also rejected a proposal for preventive detention of terror suspects, following apprehensions of misuse raised by ministers. In this case, even law minister H R Bhardwaj was not sure of the measure passing judicial muster.The proposed law for setting up the NIA envisages police officers at the level of SHOs across the country can pass on information of a ``scheduled crime'' to agency within 15 days of registration of a crime. If the agency decides to take up investigations, its officer will assume the investigation powers of the local cop with regard to the concerned crime.
