Abstract
Recently, the Supreme Court of India in the case of Jagjeet Singh v. Ashish Mishra1, recognised the “unbridled right” of the victim to participate in a criminal trial at all stages from investigation to appeal. The pronouncement of the Court is emancipatory for the struggle for victim rights. In observing that the victims with legitimate grievances cannot be expected to sit on the fence and watch the proceedings from afar, the Court has recognised the fact that victims too deserve equal rights in the criminal process. While the Court’s judgment and observation may seem obvious and warranted to us in the context of the day, the same was not always the case. The discipline of victimology has travelled far in order to culminate into such an understanding of victim justice.
