4.3 Role of the Judiciary to Promote Crime Victim Rights

1. Procedural orders: in-camera hearings, identity protection, screens/recorded testimony where the framework allows.2. Controlled cross-examination: the court's duty to stop abusive questioning (the witness's shield — the court's discretion as the survivor's last rampart).3. Compensation awards: the court's compensation jurisdiction under the procedural framework; sentencing's compensation logic (the offender pays as part of accountability).4. Delay management: adjournment discipline — delay is the system's quiet secondary victimization.5. Jurisprudence of rights: the Supreme Court's PIL decisions (Unit 5's prescribed cases) building the victim-protection doctrine — from relief orders to structural directions (compensation funds, protection mechanisms).
