ABSTRACT
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Acts are essential amendments to the law that are aimed to make India's criminal justice system better. It was crucial that they be put into place since the need for victim protection, accountability, and justice was expanding, and people's worries were changing. This article provides a critical legal analysis of the interpretation and application of significant Criminal Law (Amendment) Acts, concentrating on the function of the Indian court. It talks about how judicial interpretation impacts things and how effectively these changes operate, how they are employed, and how far they go when it comes to sexual offences, victims' rights, procedural protections, and standards of evidence. The study emphasises the importance of doctrinal clarity and uniform guidelines by examining judicial trends and interpretive methodologies to guarantee the consistent application of criminal law changes. The study concludes by proposing legal and institutional reforms that are designed to enhance the efficacy of the criminal justice system in India by aligning legislative objectives with judicial practice.
