STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Uttar Pradesh Criminal Law (Composition of Offences and Abatement of Trials) (Amendment) Act, 1979 (U.P. Act No. 35 of 1979) has been enacted to amend certain enactments to provide for the composition of certain offences and for abatement of certain criminal trials.

In Writ Petition (Civil) No. 295/2012 (S. Rajaseekaran versus Union of India & Ors.), pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the Hon'ble Court, in its order dated 20.11.2025, observed that if a person currently commits an offence under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and does not pay the fine, then after a certain period the proceedings would automatically abate. As a result, in cases involving serious traffic offences, the offender would escape without any punishment, which is an extremely serious matter.

In such circumstances, there should be certain deterrent measures to ensure control over persons involved in traffic offences, particularly young people.

In view of the above, it was decided to amend Section 9 of the aforesaid Act.

Since the State Legislature was not in session and immediate legislative action was necessary to implement the aforesaid decision, the Uttar Pradesh Criminal Law (Composition of Offences and Abatement of Trials) (Amendment) Second Ordinance, 2026 (U. P. Ordinance No. 12 of 2026) was promulgated by the Governor on May 13, 2026.

This Bill is introduced to replace the aforesaid Ordinance.

By order, J. P. SINGH-II, Pramukh Sachiv.
