Criminal offenses in India cover a broad spectrum of illegal activities that harm individuals, society or the state. These offenses include substance-related crimes, conspiracy, corruption and assault
among others. To punish the accused, Indian criminal law and procedure follow several critical stages, ensuring justice is served. These stages include:
The process begins with the FIR (First Information Report), which is a formal complaint filed by the victim or witness. The police initiate an investigation based on the FIR, gathering evidence, questioning witnesses and sometimes arresting suspects.
After an arrest, the accused may apply for bail. In India, there are two kinds of bail:
Anticipatory Bail: Sought before an arrest is made, typically when the person anticipates arrest.
Regular Bail: Filed after an arrest, where the accused requests temporary release pending the trial.
The court decides on bail based on the seriousness of the offense, the likelihood of the accused fleeing and the possibility of tampering with evidence.
After police investigation and charges are laid, the case moves to trial. The charge sheet is reviewed by the court and charges are framed against the accused.
During the trial, both the prosecution and defence present their evidence, witnesses and arguments. If convicted, the accused may face punishment as prescribed by law, which can include imprisonment, fines or other penalties.
