Purpose of Visit

The purpose of the visit was to understand the working of a court, the
nature of duties of the judicial officers. The visit was to help us
understand the role of court in dispensing justice in any case, the role of
prosecutors in a case, the way cases proceed in a court, the way judges,
prosecutors and defense lawyers handle the case, the relationship of the
prosecutors and the police. This gave us an opportunity to understand
the actual need of co- ordination in the four pillars of the criminal justice
system.

The visit included an in-depth study of the day to day functioning of the
criminal courts, at different levels and over a vast variety of cases. The
aim was to evaluate the resources available and the distribution of
power between the judges, the prosecution, and the defense council.
 INTRODUCTION
Court - A court is an institution that the government sets up to settle
disputes through a legal process. People come to court to resolve their
disagreements. Did Bill Jones run a red light before his car ran into John
Smith's, or was the light green, as he says it was? Did Frank Williams
rob the bank? Courts decide what really happened and what should be
done about it. They decide whether a person committed a crime and
what the punishment should be. They also provide a peaceful way to
decide private disputes that people can't resolve themselves.

District Court – The District Courts of India are presided over by a

judge. The administer justice in India at a district level. These courts are
under administrative and judicial control of the high court of the state to
which the district concerned belongs.

Prosecutor - The prosecutor is the chief legal representative of the

prosecution in countries with either the common law adversarial system,
or the civil law inquisitorial system.

Prosecution - The prosecution is the legal party responsible for

presenting the case in a criminal trial against an individual accused of
breaking the law.

Defense lawyer - A defense lawyer is an attorney that represents an

accused party in legal matters, including in a court of law. The accused
party is known as the defendant, hence the name, defense lawyer.
