‘Victim Compensation Scheme’ has been provided under Criminal Procedure Code by which of the following amendment ?

Cr. P. Code (Amendment) Act, 2008
Cr. P. Code (Amendment) Act, 2009
Cr. P. Code (Amendment) Act, 2005
None of the above

The correct answer is (a) Cr. P. Code (Amendment) Act, 2008.

The Victim Compensation Scheme was introduced in India by the Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) Act, 2008. The scheme provides for compensation to victims of crime, including those who have been injured or killed, as well as their families. The scheme is administered by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).

To be eligible for compensation under the scheme, the victim must have suffered physical or mental injury as a result of a crime. The victim must also file a police complaint and cooperate with the investigation. The amount of compensation is determined by the NCRB, and is based on the severity of the injury and the financial needs of the victim.

The Victim Compensation Scheme is an important step in ensuring that victims of crime are not left to bear the financial burden of their injuries. The scheme provides much-needed assistance to victims and their families, and helps to ensure that they receive the support they need to recover from their ordeal.

The other options are incorrect because they do not refer to the Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) Act, 2008.
