The report had recommended that the Government have a relook at the entire bill and come up with a comprehensive bill to revamp the criminal justice system.
In another decision, the Cabinet also gave its in-principle approval for a National Police University. The proposed institution will provide quality education, research and related activities in police subjects, including competence in areas of physical and social sciences, Chidambaram said. The Government has already identified land in Delhi for setting up the university. Forensic laboratories across the country will be attached to the university once it comes up.
