Les infractions sexuelles sont souvent commises dans des endroits isolés. Dans de tels cas, seule la victime, qui est le témoin oculaire, joue un rôle essentiel. Les victimes de viol sont menacées pour leur vie ou influencées pour obtenir une justice inanimée. Cela viole le principe du procès équitable, qui est le principe le plus fondamental du droit pénal. Par conséquent, afin de garantir un procès équitable, il est nécessaire d'assurer la protection des témoins aux victimes d'infractions sexuelles. Ce document traitera de l'idée de la protection des témoins pour les victimes d'infractions sexuelles afin de respecter le principe du procès équitable. Il se concentrera sur les aspects législatifs de la protection des témoins dans les cas de viol et de harcèlement sexuel, ainsi que sur la perspective judiciaire de la protection des témoins. Il analysera diverses jurisprudences dans lesquelles la Cour suprême a donné des lignes directrices détaillées pour la protection des témoins. Ce document se concentre également sur la justification du principe de justice naturelle dans les cas d'infractions sexuelles en assurant la protection des témoins.
