VICTIMS PLIGHT: NEED FOR GROWTH OF VICTIMOLOGY IN INDIA Anirudh Singh, Student at jamia millia islamia university Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The paper deals with the concept of victimology and discusses it in detail with the help of decided case laws both in abroad and in India. Victimology means “the scientific study of crime victims including the study of the relationship between victim and offender and of the consequences and effects of being victimized.” The article discusses about its history in different nations of world. Afterwards the paper deals about its development in India. Victimology and its role in the betterment of life of every victim as well as sometimes in life of offender has also been taken in consideration. Then it discusses about various provisions for victims that are given in different acts and statutes, CRPC mainly plays a very important role in victimology. The benefits derived to victims by implication of correct victimology procedure and laws provide them a better way to heal from these ruins of crime that are suffered by them. The Victimology also forms a part of Penology and this aspect has also been covered in this paper. India also suffers a lack of an act/ statue which is completely based on victimology. Only one section in CRPC i.e., 357A deals with this concept but in reality, at least half of CRPC should focus on the concept of Victimology, therefore the drawbacks of not having a victim-based statue and work needed to be done in this direction have been discussed. At last, the role of our Judiciary in promoting Victimology and Victim Compensation has been discussed with the help of latest as well as landmark judgements. The judicial pronouncements have always played a role in the favour of victims even when the offender is state.

‘ARREST’ IN INDIA: 360 ANALYSIS

Volume I Issue II /

‘ARREST’ IN INDIA: 360° ANALYSIS Kritika, Student at Army Institute of Law. Gitesh Kumar, Post Graduate- LLM (Punjabi University). Download Manuscript ABSTRACT India witnesses staggering number of arrests, prompting public and legal dialogues. These encompass the arrests of over 2,000 persons for child marriages in Assam, a Union Minister for his remark against a Chief Minister, a businessman for his involvement in a pornographic racket, a Sikh separatist for his campaign for Khalistan, and a former CEO of a private bank for her role in a loan fraud case. These arrests have engendered various issues pertaining to the grounds, procedure, rights and accountability of the arrested persons and the arresting authorities, as well as the social and ethical ramifications of their actions. The article contemplates the power to arrest an individual under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred as ‘the CrPC, 1973’). The Rule of Necessity is the basis for arrest, which aims to strike a balance between the societal interest of having a justiciable order in the nation and the individual interest of Right to Life and Personal Liberty. The article also delves into the Constitutionality of Arrest under the Constitution of India, 1950 (for brevity, the Constitution) vis-à-vis the Right to Freedom under Article 19 and the Right to Life and Personal Liberty under Article 21.            The article also elucidates upon the grounds and circumstances for arrest as per the CrPC, 1973 vary depending on whether the case is cognisable or non-cognisable, and whether the arrest is made by the police, a private person or a Magistrate. The article also emphasizes that regardless of the method of detention, the essential entitlements of the arrestee, such as the Right to Life and the equitable adherence to post-arrest procedure including Medical Examination, must be honoured and preserved by the authorities in conformity with the instructions established by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
