Criminal Law

India has a very highly developed Criminal Jurisprudence and Judicial Administration System [JAS] to deal with the offences and the offenders on its soil. The vital organs of the JAS- the Investigating Agencies, the Courts, the Prosecutors & the Defence Counsel- have proved, time and again, to be vibrant, competent, vigilant, just and fair. The Investigating Agencies are free to carryout investigation freely and fairly and arrest the suspect for custodial interrogations, if the facts and circumstances of the case so warranted. The Courts conduct free and fair inquiry & trial, giving all concerned a fair chance of being heard. The Courts judiciously exercise their discretion to grant bail and anticipatory bail to the suspect if he/ she convinces the Court that he / she will be present in the Court to face trial.

India follows the adversarial system, where generally the onus and burden of proof is on the State (Prosecution) to prove the case against the accused, and until and unless the allegation against the accused are proved beyond reasonable doubt, the accused is presumed to be innocent. However, in certain exceptional cases, like rape and terrorism, etc., the onus of proof has been put on the accused person, who claims to be not guilty.

India has a three tier judiciary. The criminal trials take place before the Courts below. The Higher Courts entertain Appeals, Review, Reference & Revision. The Honble Supreme Court of India is the Apex Court of Appeals. The judiciary hierarchy is thus: the Supreme Court Of India, the High Courts of various states, and the District Courts and Special Courts & Tribunal. The Courts follow the principles of natural justice, in letter and spirit. The Judgments/ Orders passed by the Courts do not acquire finality until and unless affirmed/ confirmed by the Higher Courts- High Court of the particular State and the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

The courts in India, particularly High Courts and Supreme Court have been proactively guarding the rights of the accused. The Article 21 of the Constitution of India has been interpreted in a highly dynamic manner to protect the rights, life and liberty of the citizens. The provisions of Bail & anticipatory bail, suspension of sentence adequately take care of most of the major rights of the suspect, detainee and arrestee.
