Keywords:
Rape, Speedy trial, Victim, Fundamental right, Human rights.Abstract
Rape is considered as most heinous crime against woman under Indian Criminal Law. Rape not only defiles the physical health of the victim but also ruin her inner soul. No ointment would be able to provide a relief to victim, as there is no medicine for mental distress. On the other hand, a quick and fair justice to victim of rape can do the little needful. However, it is found that cases of prolonged trial are very common in India and it works as catalyst to increase mental trauma of victim. Nevertheless, Right to Speedy Trial is a fundamental right of a victim which is enshrined under Article - 21 of Indian Constitution. Also there are various legislations in this regard which asserts speedy and fair justice to victim of rape. But, problem lies in the implementation of these Law and lots of efforts should be made to make trial process more effective so that justice to victim should not be delayed.
