Abstrak	Reorganization towards a restorative criminal justice scheme in India was under taken based on an amendment made to the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) of 1973 in 2008. The said amendments were conceded by the Government of India in order to advance the country s antiquated criminal laws. However, the main problem was keeping the definition of victim stagnant when, in fact, changes relating to victim and, further, reorganizing obsolete laws which have connec tion with the laws relating to compensation to victims continue. Unfortunately, another difficulty was that the existing laws on determination of victim compen sation leave it to the sole discretion of authorities provided under the CrPC. This article highlights that the provisions in the CrPC after the new changes are more general in their attitude of addressing predicament of victims. Yet the irregularity with which the sections are appealed by the judiciary in an effort to accomplish victim fairness and lessen the griefs of the victim would reduce these laws as futile and be the dwindling theme of victim compensation laws in India. Moreover, this article emphasises that some minor developments which occurred in the field of compensation to victims have no doubt reduced an accused-oriented approach, but at the same time there were still numerous lacunae left in this field. Last but not the least, the article focuses on the interface between victim compensation laws and evaluation of victim compensation amended laws.
