Abstract	The Restorative Criminal Justice System (RCJS) is gaining traction globally as an alternative approach to traditional punitive justice systems. This paper explores the potential and challenges associated with adopting the RCJS in the Indian context. It examines the historical and cultural factors influencing the current criminal justice system in India, identifies the principles of restorative justice, and evaluates its applicability to the Indian legal framework. The paper also discusses pilot programs and initiatives in India that have experimented with restorative justice practices and provide insights into the outcomes and challenges faced. Through an analysis of existing literature, legal precedents, and case studies, the paper aims to contribute to the discourse on the potential benefits and obstacles in integrating restorative justice into the Indian criminal justice system.
