General20258 sections

The Haryana Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2025, is a legislative reform aimed at decriminalizing minor offences across various state laws. Instead of traditional criminal prosecution involving imprisonment or fines, the Act replaces these with administrative monetary penalties. It applies to a wide range of sectors, including municipal governance, forest management, excise, and cooperative societies. By shifting the focus from criminal punishment to civil adjudication, the Act seeks to reduce the burden on the judiciary, simplify compliance for citizens and businesses, and foster a culture of trust between the government and the public.
