- A fair trial ensures that Article 21 of the Constitution is upheld. It guarantees the right to life which states that a person’s life or liberty can be taken away only by following a reasonable and just legal procedure.
- Every citizen, irrespective of his class, caste, gender, religious and ideological backgrounds should get a fair trial when accused. That means a judge cannot jump to the conclusion, instead, he has to remain impartial and then decide on the basis of the evidences.
- The trial should be held in an open court and the accused should be defended by the lawyer. The public prosecutor should be given an opportunity to cross examine all the procession witnesses.
- The rule of law says that everyone is equal before the law would not make much sense if every citizen were not guaranteed a fair trial by the constitution.
