Witness Protection Regime- An Indian Perspective

About The Book

This book entitled ‘Witness Protection Regime - An Indian Perspective’ has been prepared for teachers, advocates, students. As there is no specific law in India regarding witness protection special focus has been made to highlight the actual position of witnesses, problems faced by them and their protection measures. Unlike other countries, care and attention should also be given to them. It’s high time; many helpless people have been put under the shoes of wealthy politicians or advocate just ruing their self respect due to which the Indian courts many a times, given unfair decisions.

As a law person one must be aware of the rights and liabilities of witnesses in order to raise voice against any injustice. This book will enlighten information over the cases of witnesses turning hostile due to various reasons. References have been drawn from foreign counties but it is the Indian judiciary which has to act stringently and provide protection. A humble effort has been made to highlighten highly neglected but equally important area of law with special reference to India. May I hope that the law scholars will pick up the batten to throw some new lights on this burning issue.
