the Criminal Procedure Rules

The Criminal Procedure Rules are guidelines that govern the conduct of criminal cases in courts. They outline the processes for how cases are initiated, evidence is presented, and trials are conducted, ensuring fairness and efficiency. These rules define the roles of judges, lawyers, and defendants, and establish timelines and procedures for filing documents, conducting hearings, and delivering decisions. Their primary aim is to make the criminal justice system transparent and accessible while protecting the rights of all parties involved. Understanding these rules helps participants navigate the complexities of legal proceedings effectively.
