The Supreme Court expressed concern over the lack of effective implementation of the witness protection program. A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court referred to this plan in 2018. The court emphasized that the condition of the witnesses in India is very dismal.
A division bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma of the Supreme Court said that witnesses play an important role in helping the court reach the right conclusion. Referring to witness protection in criminal trials, the court said that the lack of effective implementation of the witness protection program is worrisome.
The Supreme Court also cited the English philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham. The court said, “Witnesses are the eyes and ears of justice. The division bench of the Supreme Court said, it is worrying that the condition of the witnesses in the Indian judicial system is very pathetic. The witnesses are killed at the behest of people in power, their henchmen and hired men are served, force is used and money is also given, So that the truth can be suppressed and justice mocked.
