A criminal case is built upon edifice of evidence including witnesses whether it is direct evidence or circumstantial evidence. Many developed countries across the globe provides for the witness protection laws but woefully in India, there is no such legislation framed with regard to this issue. It is due to lack of such legislation that the witnesses are under precarious situation. In numerous cases the judiciary played the constructive role to provide different means and methods to the protection of witnesses which lead to the significant amount of encouragement to establish Witness Protection Programs in India.
