What's the Indian Criminal Law?

India has three criminal laws. These are known as Major Laws. They are: 1. The Indian Penal Code. 2. The Criminal Procedure Code 3. 3. The Indian Evidence Act. All other laws are classified as Special Laws, Local Laws (state enacted Laws), or as a collective as Minor Laws.

How long is a decision in a criminal proceeding taken in India?

The time it takes to decide a criminal case can also vary greatly. Depending on the number and bail granted of the accused, the initial decision by the originating court may take between 2 and 5 years. In any case, there will almost always be an appeal to a higher court. This may take as much as one-third of the time.

What's Anticipatory Bail?

Section 438 of CrPC refers to the provision regarding anticipatory bail. If an individual is concerned about being arrested in connection to an implication in a non-bailable crime, they can apply for anticipatory bail before the registration of an FIR. Only one thing is required: The grounds for anticipatory bail must be logical or evident.

What punishment is a person subject to for attacking someone in India?

It all depends on the type of attack. It could be physical, emotional, mental, or cyber. However, if the assault is physical, then IPC allows for grievous hurt and assault cases to be filed. If they are proven, they can be charged with the appropriate punishment, which could include a maximum of 3 months imprisonment and 7 years, as well as a fine.

What is the difference between a complaint and FIR?

A complaint is a written request by the complainant for an enforcement agency to investigate the matter. FIR refers to the First Information Report (FIR) issued by the enforcing agency acknowledging receipt of the complaint. It binds the authority in order to investigate and do justice to the complainant as required by law.

The Criminal Procedure Code (referred to as "CrPC" or "code") establishes the process and manner in which criminal trials in India should be handled.

Divorce And Legal Rights Of A Woman

Posted by admin

in Divorce

To make things somewhat less excruciating for women, the Honorable Supreme Court has cut down the cooling off period for a divorce by six months. The court ruled that now divorce can be granted to couples without the earlier provision of mandatory 18 month separation period. It means that the 18 months period can be waived off by the courts with the mutual consent of the couples. The Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act 1976 enables both parties to dissolve the marriage by mutual consent if there is no chance of reconciliation. Women can invoke maintenance rights Maintenance is an amount...
