Abstract Conflicts and crimes are as old as human societies themselves. However, the mankind has always been instrumental in finding the most effective ways to resolve conflicts or crime in the society. The advent of the criminal justice system was the consequence of similar efforts. The experiences in most countries of the world tell us that the formal system of criminal justice, due to various reasons, has not been fully successful in achieving its objectives. Mounting arrears in the court, delay in disposal of cases and consistently rising rate of acquittals resulted in the loss of public confidence in the system. This system of affairs in spite of providing justice to the victim creates hardship for those and in number of cases they suffered the loss of their lives or property or other type of harassment. As the whole world has become a global village at this time of technology, still in the administration of Criminal Justice victim’s say is negligible. Prosecution story revolves around the accused and benefits of doubts are given to him. This results into the acquittal of accused for want of evidence. In such a situation a common man loses the faith on the whole system of admiration of Justice. There is a need to balance the concerns of the victim and the community as well as to reintegrate the offender in the society. So, the victim’s participation in administration of criminal justice for sentencing and rehabilitations of offenders is of paramount importance. As in the present age the criminal system of justice requires a tremendous change for the satisfaction of society, in the paper an effort is being made to analyse the role of judiciary in rendering the justice on victim perspective.
