Criminal Procedure Rules

Criminal Procedure Rules are a set of official guidelines that govern how criminal cases are handled in court. They ensure the process is fair, efficient, and consistent by outlining steps for investigations, charges, evidence exchange, hearings, and trials. These rules clarify what each party must do, deadlines to meet, and procedures to follow, helping prevent unnecessary delays or errors. They aim to balance the rights of the accused with the interests of justice, ensuring the criminal justice system operates smoothly and transparently for everyone involved.
