What are criminal cases?
A criminal offence is defined by the Indian Penal Code, 1860 as when a person knowingly does an act that is against the law. An act is only deemed criminal when it is coupled with a guilty mentality; action by itself does not imply guilt.
The Criminal Procedure Code of 1973 divides criminal offences into four categories:
- Cognizable
- Non Cognizable
- Bailable
- Non-bailable.
Under Indian law, different offences have different procedural treatments.
Types of criminal cases
The code of criminal procedure, which governs the procedure for trying criminal offences in the Indian justice system, divides criminal offences into the following categories:
Bailable offences
These categories of criminal offences are those specified in the code’s first schedule, according to Section 2(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Crimes subject to bail include those that carry a maximum sentence of three years in jail or a small fine.
According to the Criminal Procedure Code, everyone detained without a warrant for a bailable offence has the unfettered right to be released on bail as long as they can afford to pay the required bond amount. The amount of bail is decided by a court of law, and it is granted only if the accused complies with this requirement.
The form that an accused person must provide while requesting bail is also specified in the Criminal Procedure Code.
Non-bailable offences
As the name suggests, offences for which the accused is not entitled to bail are known as non-bailable offences. Bail is not applicable for any offence that is not specified in the Criminal Procedure Code’s first schedule. These are crimes that carry a maximum sentence of seven years in jail, the death penalty, or life in prison.
A court of law has the authority to decide whether to provide bail in the event of non-bailable offences. The court may decide to grant bail under particular conditions or refuse to grant it altogether. When a magistrate decides whether to grant or deny bail to an accused person, they must document their reasoning in the court order.
In the case of a non-bailable offence, a bail application can be made through form 45, as outlined in the criminal procedure code.
Cognizable offences
The criminal procedure code grants the police administration the right to arrest an accused individual for these offences in some circumstances without a warrant and in other circumstances with one. Cognizable offences are usually more serious offences with more severe penalties under the Indian penal code because of the police administration’s total jurisdiction.
The list of all offences that are punishable by the Indian Penal Code and other statutes is included in the first schedule of the code of criminal procedure.
Non Cognizable offences
These are offences other than that of cognizable offences for which the criminal procedure code gives the police administration the authority to record an complaint of the complainant against the accused person and NC copy is given to the Complainant to file a case against the accused before JMFC/MM or the court having the appropriate jurisdiction. Non cognizable offences are less serious in nature that carry punishments under the Indian penal code having fine or simple imprisonment or otherwise as laid down as per the Indian Penal code.
