  "account": "Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Surya Kant inaugurated the first Victim Rights Centre (VRC) in Bihar on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The VRC will serve as a single window mechanism for victims of crimes, providing them with legal, medical, and counseling assistance, protection, and rehabilitation. Kant flagged off nine multi-utility vehicles which will take legal awareness and first-point assistance to remote villages and settlements. He also launched a transgender helpline and released a book on VRC. Kant emphasized that the justice system must reach out to vulnerable and unheard citizens, stating that justice must not wait for the citizen to find it. The CJI stressed that access to justice is complete when people who need assistance can actually find their way to the legal system.",
  "summary": "Speaking at the launch of the first Victim Rights Centre (VRC) in Bihar, CJI Kant said that justice must not remain confined to the walls of a courtroom but must reach to those who are vulnerable, unheard or unable to navigate the legal system on their own",
