Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023,
which of the following is a newly introduced provision that strengthens victim rights during investigation?Solution
This provision is introduced in Section 479(4) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. It states that: “In cases of sexual offences, the court shall hear the victim before granting bail to the accused.” This reflects a significant move toward victim-centric justice, providing the victim an opportunity to voice their concerns regarding safety and intimidation before the court decides on bail. • It aligns with the objective of empowering victims, especially in gender-based crimes, and strengthens safeguards during the pre-trial stage. • This provision codifies judicial practice into statute and promotes procedural fairness.
