Code of Criminal Procedure

The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is a legal framework that outlines the process for investigating, prosecuting, and trying criminal cases in a country. It ensures procedures are followed for fair investigation, arrest, bail, trial, and punishment, safeguarding both public interest and individual rights. The CrPC specifies the roles of police, courts, and prosecutors, emphasizing justice, due process, and procedural fairness, thus maintaining order and ensuring that justice is served lawfully and systematically.
