Senior advocate and nominated MP Mahesh Jethmalani told the Rajya Sabha on Thursday that he will miss some parts of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), especially section 420 that is imprinted in everyone's mind and became so popular that even a Hindi film titled "Shree 420" was made in the 1950s.
Participating in a debate on three criminal amendment bills in the Upper House of Parliament, Jethmalani said, "I have been in (the legal) practice for 42 years. Although the old must give way to the new, there are some parts of it we will miss, sir. Section 420 is imprinted in our minds." "It became part of Bollywood and there was a movie with Raj Kapoor called 'Shree 420'. Sometimes, we were admonished by our parents, who said 'charsaubeesi maat karo'. We will miss that. This bill must ring in changes for the new generation. It has and I welcome it," he added.
