A Criminal Court is a legal venue where cases involving alleged violations of criminal law are heard. These courts handle a variety of offenses, ranging from minor infractions to serious crimes like felonies. The primary purpose is to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused and to impose appropriate penalties if found guilty.
In a Criminal Court, the process typically involves a judge, a prosecutor representing the government, and a defense attorney for the accused. The court ensures that the rights of the defendant are protected while also upholding the law. Sentences can include fines, community service, probation, or imprisonment.
