Explanation
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 is based on the Verma Committee Report.
In the wake of the brutal gang rape and murder case in Delhi in December 2012, there was widespread outrage and demands for stricter laws to address crimes against women in India. The government constituted a committee, headed by Justice J.S. Verma, to review and suggest amendments to the existing criminal laws.
The Verma Committee Report, officially titled "Report of the Committee on Amendments to Criminal Law," was submitted in January 2013. It made comprehensive recommendations for amending the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and other relevant laws to address sexual offenses, enhance the safety and security of women, and improve the criminal justice system.
Taking into account the recommendations of the Verma Committee Report, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 was enacted by the Indian Parliament. This Act introduced significant changes to the existing criminal laws, including the definition of sexual offenses, punishment for various offenses, procedural reforms, and measures for the protection and support of victims.
Therefore, option A: Verma Committee Report is the correct answer.
