Ms. Saheli Chakraborty, BVDU New Law College, Pune

ABSTRACT

False confessions and incorrect witness statements are major issues in the criminal justice system, leading to wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice. Legal systems around the world have been grappling with these problems and implementing laws and regulations to prevent them from happening. In this article, we will take a closer look at false confessions and witness laws, with a particular focus on India. We will examine how the Indian legal system compares to international standards, what measures are being taken to address the problem of false confessions and incorrect witness statements, and what further steps can be taken to ensure that justice is served.
