Abstract
The Constitution of India, guarantees Fundamental Rights under chapter Ⅲ that is from Article 12 to Article 35 which ensures that the right of every citizen of India is being protected and the heightened awareness are the rights of accused person. The reason being, individuals who are merely suspected of a crime often face social ostracization and are treated as though they are already convicted. This premature judgement leads to their abandonment even by their own community, simply because they bear the label of accused. On this proposition he is not getting the attention which he is entitled under the Article 20 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, my attempts to examine the guiding principles established under the Constitution of India concerning human rights, with particular focus on the rights of convicted persons. This thesis aims to assess the constitutional protections afforded to convicted individuals and identify potential gaps or deficiencies in these provisions.
