PC for separation of investigation, prosecution

The Home Minister said the Committee on Reforms of the Criminal Justice System, constituted under the Chairmanship of Justice V Malimath considered measures for revamping criminal justice system. 

The Committee gave recommendations on various aspects of criminal justice system including investigation, prosecution and the trial procedure in its report submitted in March,2003. 

Chidambaram said since the Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure are on the Concurrent List of Seventh Schedule of the Constitution and are administered by state governments, any amendment to these requires consultation with states. 

"In view of this, the report was forwarded to the state governments and Union Territories Administrations to obtain their views or comments," he said.
