Fort Magistrate's Court

A Fort Magistrate's Court is a local judicial authority commonly found in India and other countries, serving as a court of first instance for minor offenses and preliminary hearings. It operates under the jurisdiction of a magistrate who handles cases such as petty crimes, disputes, and small civil issues. The court ensures legal processes are followed, and decisions are made fairly, often involving hearings and judgments that can result in fines, penalties, or dismissals. Its primary role is to maintain law and order in the community by addressing less serious legal matters efficiently.
