The Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2011

Criminal20116 sections

This Act amends the Code of Criminal Procedure for the state of Jharkhand, India, allowing courts to use video conferencing for criminal trials. It applies to accused individuals in custody, prison authorities, and the local judiciary. By modifying provincial judicial procedures, the law permits defendants to attend court, give evidence, explain circumstances, and hear final judgments remotely through electronic video links rather than requiring physical presence. This matters because it modernizes the local justice system, increases security by minimizing physical transfers, cuts transit costs, and speeds up judicial proceedings for prisoners and courts alike.
