The innate object of criminal law is to protect society against criminals and law-breakers and for this intent, the law holds out menace of punishments to law-breakers and as well as endeavor to make actual offender suffer the laid down punishment in various statute. This article is based upon the norms of the criminal laws towards the accused. The paper would like to explicit that one of the basic doctrine of our legal system is the benefit of the presumption of innocence of the accused till he is found guilty. At the end of a trial on legal evidence in a democratic society even the rights of accused are sacrosanct, because the accused in India are afforded certain rights, the most elementary of them are laid down in the Indian constitution, but are those rights really enforceable is a big question on the statutes in which they are prescribed. The criminal penology and the procedures that it seeks to prescribe have to be inspired by high ideals of individual security and social cohesion, if not social solidarity. A fair procedure in criminal trial is the bedrock of the criminal justice system. The ultimate object of the criminal justice system is to render public justice, to chasten the criminal and to look that the trial is concluded promptly before the memory of the witness fades out. Therefore, there is immediate need to look and to review the entire criminal justice system. Hence, the courts should always try to make an attempt to maintain the faith of the people in administration of the justice by ensuring the concept of the human rights in functioning of the Criminal justice. Therefore, the thrust of the Paper is the recognition of legal rights of accused person in India and its reformation of the laws prescribed and practiced because through this only in the faith of the people in the rule of law can be achieved.
