It’s an important step towards achieving the goals based on the ‘Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat’ theme,” said Vishnu Deo Sai, Chhattisgarh chief minister.The government asserted that the focus is to make employment and business easier in the state as well as to protect traders and common citizens from judicial litigation in non-criminal category cases.The initiative will create a smooth business and responsible environment as the new enactment will be helpful in replacing the fear of criminal litigation with fines for minor violations, while the strict penalties for grave violations will still be retained.The State government ahead of the passing of the bill, had secured crucial feedback from legal experts, representatives of industrial groups, business houses, officials and other stakeholders.
