Criminal Litigation in India

Criminal litigation in India encompasses the realms of Criminal Law governed by the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, along with numerous other special laws for specific offenses like the Prevention of Corruption Act, the Food Adulteration Act, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO). These laws, established in the 18th and 19th centuries, have evolved significantly to address the changing dynamics of criminal activities, maintaining the core principle of criminal liability: the necessity of a wrongful act with a wrongful intent.

Cyber Crimes

The proliferation of technology and the easy spread of information have significantly increased cybercrime incidents. As a result, cyber law has become a distinct field within India’s criminal law framework. The Information Technology Act, 2000, is the primary law defining offences and prescribing punishments for cybercrimes. To combat the growing threat of cybercrime, cyber cells have been established at the district level across the country.
