Crimes exist in all societies and the evolution of a criminal justice system has been society's attempt to regulate crime and punishment. While the definition of crimes or the substantive elements of criminal law are governed by the Indian Penal Code, it is essential that there be a mechanism through which the law relating to crimes is enforced. In India criminal law is formally enforced through procedures established by the law. These are known as criminal procedures and they are governed by the Criminal Procedure Code. These criminal procedures could range from lodging a complaint, to investigation and arrest by the police, to your rights as an accused or arrested person. There are numerous situations where common people find themselves trapped within the intimidating criminal justice system. This section attempts to inform you of the basic working of the criminal justice system as well as informing you of your rights vis-à-vis the police as a citizen. |
