According to Section 4(1) (O) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1898, an offense is defined as "an act or omission made punishable by any law for the time being in force." The fundamental legal principles of criminal law, expressed in Latin as "Nullum crimen sine lege" (No crime without law) and "Nulla poena sine lege" (No punishment without law), emphasize that crimes must be clearly defined by law, and no punishment can be imposed without a legal basis. The enforcement of criminal law plays a crucial role in maintaining peace and tranquility in society. It aims to safeguard the fundamental rights of citizens, including life, honor, liberty, and property. The primary objective of a criminal trial is to ascertain the guilt or innocence of the accused. Criminal trials are broadly categorized into two types: Summary Trial and Regular Trial, reflecting distinctions between minor and serious offenses. Summary trials, outlined in Chapter 22, Sections 260 to 265 of the Cr.PC, are designed for minor offenses. Sections 260 and 261 empower Magistrates and Benches of Magistrates to conduct summary trials, with Sections 262 to 265 providing the procedural framework. Regular trials can be further divided into magisterial trials and Sessions Trials. Chapter 20, Sections 241 to 250, delineate the procedure for criminal trials before Magistrates, while Chapter 22-A, Sections 265-A to 265-N, govern the procedure for criminal trials before the Courts of Sessions and High Courts. Before delving into the detailed procedures of magisterial and Sessions trials, it is pertinent to discuss the various stages of a criminal case.
