This paper talks about how rape trials have evolved in India. Detailed and descriptive analysis is done of the landmark judgments starting up with the Mathura rape case to the Kathua rape case that brought serval amendments under the Indian Penal Code, The Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act and it also discusses in detail about the Criminal law amendment act of 1983, 2013 and 2018. It also looks into the recommendations given by the committees like Justice Verma Committee about gender neutrality, capital punishment, and many more. All crimes that occur in India are presumed to be committed against the State, which is why the State is always a party in criminal cases. In India, the criminal law consists of three primary statutes: the Indian penal code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act. This article finishes with my perspective on the four major decisions handed down by the court, as well as my thoughts on how it's great that amendments have been made and how timely justice is crucial. Since, in my opinion, slow justice does not amount to justice.
