Criminal Litigation

Criminal litigation in India deals with the criminal law, which is mainly governed by three major acts, namely: the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act. except for these, the Indian Criminal Jurisprudence is governed by numerous other special laws formulated to handle specific criminal offences. Though these acts were formulated within the 18^th and 19^th century, they have undergone comprehensive changes to adapt to the paradigm shift within the offences committed within the society.

Criminal litigation mostly refers to a trial in a criminal court. It requires the highest standard of proof, which means the prosecutor must prove all elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Different punishments have been laid down for different offences. The offences can be cognizable, non cognizable, bailable, non bailable, compoundable, non compoundable offences and are triable by different courts as per the nature of the offence.
