Kerala To Strengthen Role Of Victims In Criminal Jurisprudence System

Kerala High Court

The Kerala high Court in its recent judgement in TV Thomas vs State of Kerala & Others, stated that victims of a crime shall not be a meagre outsider in the criminal proceedings, but shall be considered as equal partner in criminal justice dispensation system. Thus the Kerala Police Chief has also issued a circular regarding strengthening and widening the role of ‘victims’ in crimes.
