ABOUT THE PROJECT:
The present study is about wrongful prosecution and its redressal. Of late, there is a burgeoning concern about instances where those who are wrongfully prosecuted and are later found to be innocent. A host of social, psychological, physical and financial consequences follow the wrongful implication of a person in such cases. Both the nature and the extent of the problem of wrongful prosecution remains an understudied enigma in our country. There is a dearth of studies on the causes of wrongful prosecution as well as the sufferings of the victims and in particular the effect of the secondary victimisation upon their lives and that of their families. The project seeks to identify the contours of wrongful prosecution in India as well as types and mannerisms of wrongs, injuries, losses and injustice to victims of wrongful prosecution. The project shall recommend workable and practicable mechanisms for compensation and restitution as well as comprehensive statutory and police frameworks to address the issue.
