भारत में मुकदमा झेलना ही सजा? UAPA-NDPS मामलों पर Advocate Vikas Gupta का बड़ा सवाल |

Описание: According to Supreme Court Advocate Vikas Gupta, in India, facing a criminal trial often becomes a punishment in itself. He argues that in cases under laws such as UAPA and NDPS, accused persons sometimes spend more years undergoing trial than the actual sentence prescribed for the alleged offence.

Vikas Gupta points out that prosecution agencies frequently submit extensive witness lists running into hundreds of names, resulting in trials that continue for years without the completion of evidence. He raises concerns that, in some cases, the focus appears to shift from proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt to keeping an accused person behind bars for an extended period.

He further emphasizes that the foundation of criminal jurisprudence is based on evidence, witnesses, and the presumption of innocence. When trials remain pending for years and undertrial prisoners continue to remain incarcerated without a final verdict, serious questions arise regarding natural justice, fair trial rights, and the efficiency of the criminal justice system.
Watch this detailed discussion by Advocate Vikas Gupta on UAPA cases, NDPS trials, undertrial prisoners, witness examination, delayed justice, and the challenges facing India's criminal justice system.
