The Code of Criminal Procedure (Rajasthan Amendment) Act, 2017, is a procedural statute that modernizes the administration of criminal justice within the state of Rajasthan. It amends the central Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to introduce technological efficiencies and administrative flexibility. Key changes include allowing courts to conduct proceedings via audio-video electronic means, permitting the recording of witness evidence remotely, and granting courts the power to change the venue of sessions for security reasons. It also expands the list of government experts whose reports are admissible in court. For the ordinary citizen, this means faster trials, reduced travel requirements for witnesses, and enhanced security during sensitive legal proceedings.
