The Faliure of Indian Criminal Justice System: Miscarriage of Justice Due to False Prosecution

Abstract

Paul Roberts and Adrian Zuckerman, in their book Criminal  Evidence,  ―acquitting the  innocent  and  convicting the  guilty,  dealing  with the prosecution and defence fairly, recognizing human rights (especially the right to a fair trial),respecting the interests of witnesses, victims and jurors, ensuring that the court has the information it needs to make properly informed decisions, and dealing with cases efficiently, expeditiously and proportionately in the light of their gravity and complexity is as serviceable a list of primary criteria of justice in criminal adjudication as one is likely to find in any philosophical treatise on the subject.
