&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The realities of torture and its prosecution in India would temper our expectations from this one development. The Supreme Court needs to ensure robust implementation of its order and simultaneously plug the gaps so that incidents of torture are curtailed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a bid to curb torture, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court recently mandated that CCTV cameras be installed in police stations and offices of other investigative agencies. Though a significant step to curtail custodial torture at these sites, it can have a meaningful impact only if coupled with long-pending reforms to end impunity for torture and a change in the culture of police violence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While the judgment has been assigned a &amp;ldquo;landmark&amp;rdquo; status, it is not the first time that courts have called for the deployment of CCTVs. Previous decisions with similar recommendations have been poorly implemented, evidenced by reports of installation of defunct cameras and exaggerated claims of authorities about the number of cameras installed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is, however, important to note that the present decision shows a marked difference than the earlier ones in its approach. It shows more care by listing out areas of police stations where cameras must be installed to ensure that there are no blind spots. It asks for oversight committees to be set up to monitor the functioning of the cameras. It also specifies that the cameras must be equipped with night vision and be able to record audio and visual footage. The recordings will have to be preserved for at least 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a bid to curb torture, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court recently mandated that CCTV cameras be installed in police stations and offices of other investigative agencies. Though a significant step to curtail custodial torture at these sites, it can have a meaningful impact only if coupled with long-pending reforms to end impunity for torture and a change in the culture of police violence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While the judgment has been assigned a &amp;ldquo;landmark&amp;rdquo; status, it is not the first time that courts have called for the deployment of CCTVs. Previous decisions with similar recommendations have been poorly implemented, evidenced by reports of installation of defunct cameras and exaggerated claims of authorities about the number of cameras installed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is, however, important to note that the present decision shows a marked difference than the earlier ones in its approach. It shows more care by listing out areas of police stations where cameras must be installed to ensure that there are no blind spots. It asks for oversight committees to be set up to monitor the functioning of the cameras. It also specifies that the cameras must be equipped with night vision and be able to record audio and visual footage. The recordings will have to be preserved for at least 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;

Comprehensive reforms, not just CCTVs, can end custodial torture -Aishwarya Mohanty and Neetika Vishwanath

-The Indian Express The realities of torture and its prosecution in India would temper our expectations from this one development. The Supreme Court needs to ensure robust implementation of its order and simultaneously plug the gaps so that incidents of torture are curtailed. In a bid to curb torture, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court recently mandated that CCTV cameras be installed in police stations and offices of other investigative agencies. Though a significant step to curtail custodial torture at these sites, it can have a meaningful impact only if coupled with long-pending reforms to end impunity for torture and a change in the culture of police violence. While the judgment has been assigned a “landmark” status, it is not the first time that courts have called for the deployment of CCTVs. Previous decisions with similar recommendations have been poorly implemented, evidenced by reports of installation of defunct cameras and exaggerated claims of authorities about the number of cameras installed. It is, however, important to note that the present decision shows a marked difference than the earlier ones in its approach. It shows more care by listing out areas of police stations where cameras must be installed to ensure that there are no blind spots. It asks for oversight committees to be set up to monitor the functioning of the cameras. It also specifies that the cameras must be equipped with night vision and be able to record audio and visual footage. The recordings will have to be preserved for at least 12 months.
