Criminal Jurisprudence in India

Abstract

In the Indian case, this paper aims to research plea bargaining and examine why it has not been a big success. The paper is divided into three sections, the first section deals with the method of plea bargaining in India, a comparatively recent idea of criminal jurisprudence, and then the paper discusses the reasons why the Code of Criminal Procedure has remained a dead letter, contrasting it with the method of plea bargaining in the USA, where it is commonly used. The paper seeks to argue that the causes for the scheme's failure may be embedded in the failure of the entire justice delivery system. This paper discusses the same briefly.
