520			_aThe Criminal Justice System of any Nation is predominantly crucial to restoring justice in society and ensuring balance between societal interests and individual interests.In the context of Indian Criminal Justice System, despite the fact that an accused is ensured several rights and protections, the grim reality is that the accused is often made subject to various kinds of tortures and harassments in the custody. This inhumane and undignified treatment accorded to an accused indeed impedes dispensation of equal and accessible justice. Therefore, this article is an attempt to highlight the veracity of custodial violence in relation to concept of rule of law while discussing recent instances and lapses committed by functionaries in context of India’s response towards prevention of torture and custodial violence. The author would also put forward certain suggestions to curb this inhumane and undignified treatment in the form of custodial violence.- Reproduced http://kashmirjournaloflegalstudies.edu.in// b481-4e09-8ecf-05057a46ed5d.pdf
