Abstract
Home Ministry has launched Witness Protection Scheme, 2018 for safeguarding witnesses from threats, intimidation and inducement during Criminal trials. Its root is based on the natural principle that justice not only be done, but also seen to be done. This scheme provides for protective measures such as identity shielding, relocation, Police protection and in camera trials as Article 141 and 142 of Indian Constitution provides for enforcement of this Act.
Also, Article 398 of BNSS also provides for protective measures for witnesses in serious cases including cases concerning wherein life and safety of witness is at risk. It empowers Hon’ble Court to take necessary measures such as concealing identity, protecting media exposures and ensuring safe transportation.
Keywords: - Witness, Protection, Criminal Trial, protective measures, Concealing Identity
