Abstract

This article examines the critical issue of witness protection in India's criminal justice system. It analyzes the current state of witness protection measures, their effectiveness, and the challenges faced in implementing robust safeguards for witnesses in criminal proceedings. The study begins by outlining the importance of witness testimony in ensuring justice and the vulnerabilities witnesses often face, including threats, intimidation, and physical harm. It then traces the evolution of witness protection policies in India, from the recommendations of various Law Commissions to the landmark Supreme Court judgments that highlighted the need for a comprehensive witness protection program. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on judicial reform and public safety in India, underscoring the critical role of effective witness protection in upholding the integrity of the criminal justice system.
