The Supreme Court on Wednesday approved the Central
government’s draft witness protection scheme and asked all the States to
implement it until Parliament comes out with legislation. As per the scheme,
police escort will be provided to witnesses who are threatened and, if needed,
they would be relocated to a safe house. The Supreme Court has directed that
witness deposition complexes be set up in all district courts by the states and
union territories within a year.
