Remove obstacles to rape investigation and trial
The Statesman Siliguri
|March 16, 2025
Mid nationwide protests against the surge in incidents of rape and harassment of women and girls, the interim government has pledged to amend relevant laws to expedite the trial process for rape cases.
-
The law adviser has stated that law enforcement agencies will have to complete the investigation of such cases within 15 days and the trial within 90 days.
He mentioned another potential amendment, saying that even if the trial is not concluded within 90 days, the accused cannot be granted bail on this basis.
While it is good to see that the interim government is finally addressing legal concerns surrounding gender-based violence and has proposed some positive reforms, words alone will not suffice.
Concrete actions are needed to implement these changes and ensure justice for victims of rape.
Expediting justice by reforming relevant laws and procedures is key, but any amendment must be finalised after consulting with legal experts and all other stakeholders.
While investigations and trials in rape cases must be speedy, the process must also be flawless.
