Fair Investigation and Trial Procedure: A Backbone to Criminal Justice System in Indian and Violation of Human Rights

Abstract

The cornerstone for creating a serene and tranquil environment is each nation's criminal justice system. It encompasses not just the legal system but also the tools used for investigations. One of the most important areas of human rights is criminal justice since the legal system is constantly put to the test in order to maintain social security and stability while also protecting the dignity of those who are accused of crimes and their victims. Therefore, the rule of law requires the investigation to be fair, transparent, and unbiased. "The foundation of freedom, peace, and justice in the world," as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is respect for human rights and dignity.

An investigation or trial cannot be investigate or trial in a way that is contaminated or biased in order to deny the accused their fundamental rights to be assumed innocent unless and until proven fault. Ensuring adherence to fair trial standards, as guaranteed by the Indian Constitution and globally agreed upon, is his top priority. Human rights principles, such as police and prison violence, unlawful detention of innocent people, internet shutdowns, political unrest, etc., are violated by the criminal justice system. Failure to adhere to any one of these standards at any point can seriously affect the rights of all parties before the court, undermine any subsequent proceedings, and taint the entire process. But these egregious crimes continue to be violated of human rights, even with the court system's constant involvement to curb them.
