Criminal cases involve enforcing public codes of behavior, which are codified in the laws of the state. In criminal cases, the government prosecutes individuals for violating those laws (in other words, for allegedly committing a crime). Punishment in criminal cases can include fines, community service, probation, prison, and the like.
MECHANISM CRIMINAL CASE: FIR sets law in motion. It follows investigation. A report upon completion upon investigation is submitted before the court. The court conducts inquiry and decides for the disposal of report if the same is fit for trial or for disposal in some other manner. If the Court deems it fit for trial, it takes cognizance of the offence. Then the trial commences with the framing of charge (reflecting statement of accusations) against the accused and is followed by evidence as per law of land. Upon conclusion of evidence, arguments from both sides are heard. Then the judgment is announced or the decision is given by the judge; the decision culminates into either acquittal or conviction of the accused of such offence.
