RIGHT TO FAIR TRIAL

(ROLE OF JUDICIARY IN HUMAN RIGHTS)

INTRODUCTION-
The aftermath of 26/11 was followed by a wide debate on whether
the accused (who were caught red handed), should be provided a trial in the court of justice or
not. This has often been a hot topic among the people every now and then, be it for the
accused of Nirbhaya Case or the Bombay Blasts and many other shaking crimes.

At one place, lie the rights of the innocent victims and at the other, the Rights of an individual
as a Human Being. This is a dilemma which has been faced by many jurists and known thinkers
from time to time on various occasions.

India being a diverse country with its multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious population,
the protection of human rights is the sine qua non for peaceful existence. Human rights are
omnipresent in all legislations in our country and it is the duty of the Judges to read between
the lines and enforce these rights for the betterment of the society. In precise, our judgments
should be articulated in such a manner to accommodate human rights whenever it is required.
