Question

Describe different branches of legal system.

✓

Answer

Criminal Law:

Deals with conduct or acts that the law defines as offences. For example, theft, harassing a woman to bring more dowry, murder.
It usually begins with the lodging of a First Information Report (FIR) with the police who investigate the crime after which a case is filed in the court.
If found guilty, the accused can be sent to jail and also fined.

Civil Law:

Deals with any harm or injury to rights of individuals. For example, disputes relating to sale of land purchase of goods, rent matters, divorce cases.
A petition has to be filed before the relevant court by the affected party only. In a rent matter, either the landlord or tenant can file a case.
The court gives the specific relief asked for. For instance, in a case between a landlord and a tenant, the court can order the flat to be vacated and pending rent to be paid.
