Justice Mossodi told the participants that the criminal justice system has been designed with the State at the center-stage and Law and Order is the prime duty of the State. The citizens in a welfare State are expected to have their basic human rights. These rights are often violated. A citizen is harmed, injured or even killed as a result of the crime. He/she is a victim of an act termed an 'offence' in the criminal justice system. The 1st and foremost right of the victim is to have the access to criminal justice system by virtue of which a victim of crime sets the criminal justice mechanism in motion whereby he gives information to the police and then the other rights like fair treatment, assistance, restitution and compensation comes later. Justice Massodi discussed each and every right of the victim of an offence in detail and gave many illustrations where the victims' right are not taken care of and even violated. The rights of the victim are often forgotten giving weightage to the rights of accused only. The fair and expeditious trial is right of both victim and accused and as such, victim has to be participated actively. Justice Massodi took many questions from the participating officers and answered the same to their satisfaction.
The programme was concluded with vote of thanks by the Director, State Judicial Academy who expressed his gratitude to the visiting Resource persons and participants and hoped that the programme/course might be beneficial for the officers especially to make coordinated efforts to achieve the ultimate goal of expeditious and fair trial and justice to the aggrieved parties. |
