The Delhi government's Cabinet has approved the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026, aiming to decriminalize minor offenses under seven Delhi Acts. This move, mirroring a similar federal initiative, proposes replacing jail terms for minor violations with civil penalties administered by executive magistrates. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated the bill seeks to simplify compliance, reduce court burdens, and enhance administrative efficiency by making civil penalties more practical for technical lapses. The bill is slated for tabling in the upcoming assembly session.
