The traditional system of administration of criminal justice by punishing the offender and thereby restoring peace in the community has undergone a major change in the contemporary world. Many countries at present adopted the principles called restoration and restitution in their criminal justice system. It is not only the prosecution and the accused has a major play towards the dispensation of justice in criminal cases, the victim is the most important party, he/she is to be remedied. The disposal of criminal cases in courts with the prevailing procedures of our times is losing relevance in the present day society, since because the crime rate is increasing at exorbitant level inspite of the new techniques evolved and applied by the criminal justice agencies in handling the crimes and criminals. The best alternative would be the application of Restorative justice principles in criminal proceedings so as to make it more effective and functional. The victims’ interest would be properly addressed under this concept of restoration.
