Criminal Court

Criminal Courts, particularly within District Courts, handle cases where the state prosecutes individuals accused of committing crimes. These courts address various offenses, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. During a trial, prosecutors present evidence and witnesses to prove the accused's guilt, while defense attorneys advocate for the defendant's rights and present their case. The judge oversees the proceedings, ensuring fairness and adherence to the law. If found guilty, the judge determines the appropriate punishment, which can include fines, probation, or imprisonment. The aim is to uphold justice while ensuring legal processes are followed.
