Real-Life Courtroom Experience for Law Students
Criminal proceedings involve several stages, starting with the investigation by police, where evidence is gathered and witnesses are questioned. The police file a charge sheet, and the accused is arraigned in court. A judge presides over the trial, while the prosecution presents evidence of guilt, and the defense challenges it. Witnesses provide testimony, and the judge decides the verdict. If guilty, the judge imposes a sentence, which can be appealed. Various roles in the process include the judge, prosecutor, defense lawyer, police, witnesses, forensic experts, and medical examiners. The final sentence is carried out by law enforcement or probation officers, depending on the punishment.
User step into the simulation process as COMPLAINANT
Filing a complaint at a police station in India is an essential legal process that ensures the protection of rights and the initiation of a formal investigation into an incident.
The victim should approach the nearest police station under whose jurisdiction the incident occurred. In case of emergencies or difficulty in determining the jurisdiction, the complaint can be lodged at any police station, which will then transfer it to the appropriate one. Upon entering the police station, the victim should head to the reception or inquiry desk, where the officer on duty will guide them to the appropriate section for filing the complaint.
As POLICE OFFICER while registration of F.I.R.
The process of registering an FIR in India involves approaching the police station with jurisdiction over the offence. The informant provides details of the incident, including the date, time, place, and description of the offence. The police record this information in the FIR register as per Section 173 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The informant must review and sign the FIR, after which a free copy is provided to them.
As INVESTIGATING OFFICER while investigation and submission of chargesheet
The investigation process in India follows a structured approach as outlined in the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. It begins with the examination of the crime scene, where investigating officers secure the area, collect evidence such as fingerprints, samples, or objects, and document everything meticulously. Statements from witnesses are recorded under Section 180 of the BNSS, 2023, and the collected evidence is sent to forensic laboratories for detailed analysis. Based on evidence and statements, suspects are identified, questioned, and, if sufficient evidence is found, arrested and presented before a magistrate. Finally, after gathering all evidence and completing the investigation, a charge-sheet is filed in court for INQUIRY and TRIAL.
Mastering Bail Procedures Through Simulated Scenarios
The concept of bail in India, governed by Sections 478 to 496 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, ensures the temporary release of an accused while securing their appearance at trial. Section 478 grants bail as a right in bailable offenses, while Section 480 allows courts discretion in non-bailable cases. Section 482 provides for anticipatory bail to prevent potential arrest. Procedural aspects, including bail bonds and sureties, are detailed in Sections 484 to 496, ensuring fair and non-excessive conditions. This framework balances individual liberty with judicial integrity.
