Explain The Four Pillar Of Criminal Justice System

Police, prosecution, judiciary, and correctional institution are four pillar of criminal justice system, if one pillar gets demolished then whole justice system come to an end. Justice can be provided only when this entire four pillar are strongly interlinked with each other. Police is the most precious component of criminal justice system. If police do not perform their duty correctly then it affects the whole criminal system .Free and fair investigation is a key to provide better “justice” only. In India condition of police is worsen due to hectic schedule, stress work load, low salary, lack of proper infrastructure, technology, motivation and proper law for police.
In India there are 137 police officers per 100000 populations which is
Whenever charge sheet or arrest memo framed No photograph of accused is affixed in it which lead difficult to identify the accused in the course of trial or to trace the absconding accused therefore Charge sheet must be in digital form and attest with Aadhar card copy and latest photograph of accused, witness and person who file an FIR. There is a no fixed rule that particular amount of time should be dedicated to the investigation in a month.

Computer link should be setup between police and judiciary, so that judiciary aware of progress and detail of crime. If person is highly influential or rich then even higher authority do not take step against them. Supreme Court in Ganesh Narayan vs. Bangarappa case held that “The slow motion becomes much slower motion when politically powerful or high and influential persons figure as accused”. It show corruption invade in police from grass root level to higher authority. Corruption at Police Station level is affecting the timely and qualitative investigation. Corruption can only be curb at maximum level if all the work and duty of police done under surveillances. Further, the Police Stations are understaffed and the police personnel lack motivation to act without fear or favours. When the FIR is not registered within a reasonable time or the pace of Investigation is tardy, there is no internal mechanism to check this effectively. We are not telling
