Abstract

The article focuses on the implementation of a Witness Protection Scheme by the Tripura government to enhance the safety and cooperation of witnesses in legal proceedings. Chief Minister Manik Saha announced that this initiative aligns with the introduction of three new criminal laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023—effective from July 1, 2024. These laws aim to modernize the justice system by addressing new offenses such as terrorism and mob lynching, while also ensuring timely access to legal documents for both victims and accused. Saha emphasized the importance of collaboration among stakeholders to create a more efficient and victim-friendly justice system. [Extracted from the article]
