While granting bail to an accused in a drug-related case under the NDPS Act, Justice Amit Mahajan noted that the ICPC mandates photography and videography in investigations, enhancing evidence evaluation and transparency. The court acknowledged Parliament’s response to the changing times by passing the ICPC, which integrates technology to ensure a more accountable approach.
The ICPC, along with the Indian Justice Code (IJC) and Indian Evidence Code (IEC), came into effect on July 1. In the specific case, the Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested the accused, Bantu, in December 2019 for allegedly supplying charas in the city. The search recovered 1.1 kg of charas from the accused.
The court’s remarks highlight the ICPC’s significance in revolutionizing criminal justice in India, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and fairness.
