    Right to Fair Trial for the Victim – Changing Paradigm in 21st Century
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Zahan, Momina; Singh, Manju
    The concept of fair trial is the foundation stone of any justice delivery mechanism for the prevention of miscarriage of justice. While the general concept of ‘fair trial’ should mean a ‘trial’ in which there is no biasness or prejudice against any party to trial or the cause, yet it is considered, to be the trial wherein there is no biasness against the defendant/accused only. But a trial can be fair only when the whole of the prosecution procedures has been fair-minded and reasonable, and it is extended to all the participants of the criminal justice system along with the accused. Thus, this paper attempts to investigate the scope of the concept of fair trial and observe whether it can be extended to the other players of the criminal justice system, especially the victims of crime.
