      \nA person confessed his crime at the police station and the police locked him in jail for 6 months. Is this the correct procedure? Explain your answer.

      Project<\/span><\/p>\n

      In a town called Peace Land, the supporters of the Fiesta football team learnt that the supporters of the Jubilee football team in the city about 40 km away have damaged the ground on which the final between both teams was to be held the following day. A crowd of Fiesta fans armed with deadly weapons attacked the homes of the supporters of the Jubilee football team in the town. In the attack 10 men were killed, 5 women were gravely hurt, many homes were destroyed and over 50 people injured.
      \nImagine that you and your classmates are now part of the criminal justice system. First divide the class into the following four groups of persons:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Police<\/li>\n
      2. Public Prosecutor<\/li>\n
      3. Defence lawyer<\/li>\n
      4. Judge<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

        Public Prosecutor<\/td>\nRecord evidence<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\nArrest the Fiesta fans<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\nWrite the judgement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Defence lawyer<\/td>\nArgue the case for the victims<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\nDecide for how many years the accused will be put in jail<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\nExamine the witness in the court<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Judge<\/td>\nPass the judgement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\nGet the assaulted women medically examined<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

        <\/td>\nMeet the accused persons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

        a) The column on the right provides a list of functions. Match these with the roles that are listed on the left. Have each group pick the functions that it needs to perform to bring justice to those who were affected by the violence of the Fiesta fans. In what order, will these functions be performed?<\/p>\n

        b) Now take the same situation and ask one student who is a supporter of the Fiesta Club to perform all the functions listed above. Do you think the victims would get justice if only one person performed all of the functions of the criminal justice system? Why not?<\/p>\n

        \"AP<\/p>\n

        c) State two reasons why you believe that different persons need to play different roles as part of the criminal justice system.
        \nAnswer:
        \na) Order of the functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
        Roles<\/td>\nFunctions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        1) Police<\/td>\na)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hear the witness
        \nb)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Record the statements of the witness
        \nc)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take photographs of burnt homes
        \nd)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arrest the Fiesta fans<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        2) Public Prosecutor<\/td>\na)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Argue the case for the victims
        \nb)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Examine the witness in the court<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        3) Defence lawyer<\/td>\na)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meet the accused persons
        \nb)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Examine the witness in the court<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        4) Judge<\/td>\na)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Conduct a fair trail
        \nb)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get the assaulted women medically examined
        \nc)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Record evidence
        \nd)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Decide for how many years the accused will be put in jail
        \ne)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Write the judgement
        \nf)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pass the judgement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

        b) All the functions should not be performed by only one person. The judgement will be one\u00acsided. So the functions should be divided.
        \ne.g.: If the fan of Fiesta performs all the functions, the judgement will be in their favour.<\/p>\n

        c) Two reasons:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The police enquire only primary evidences and lodges the police report.<\/li>\n
        2. The judiciary observes the case in all the angles and gives judgement after a clear enquiry.
          \nSo these both should be different.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \nAnswer:
            \nS.l. investigated the offence.<\/p>\n

            In this case, the S.l. went to the village and began his investigation by examining the injuries suffered by Samba. The report of the hospital doctor established quite clearly that the injuries were serious. Then he questioned Ravi\u2019s neighbours. The neighbours gave him a full account of the incident that had taken place. This established beyond doubt that Samba was assaulted and injured by Ravi.<\/p>\n

            The S.l. then went to Ravi\u2019s house and informed him that he was being arrested on the charge of causing grievous injury to another person. He arrested Ravi and took him to the Mandal Police Station and questioned him there. Ravi flatly denied ever assaulting Samba. They tried hard to make Ravi accept his offence, but he stuck to his denial. Ravi was detained in the police lockup, so that he could be produced before the magistrate, the next day.<\/p>\n

            Question 12.
            \nWhat happened in the first hearing? (Textbook Page No. 178)
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe S.l. had given a copy of the FIR and the police report to Ravi\u2019s lawyer so that he could know the exact charges levelled against his client. From these reports, Ravi\u2019s lawyer could also know the kind of evidence that the police had collected against Ravi. All this information would enable him to prepare a defence for Ravi, who was the accused in this case.
            \nIn the first hearing, the judicial magistrate accused Ravi of inflicting grievous injury to Samba. This offence, if proved, would entail imprisonment for 4 years. Ravi did not accept the charges. So, the magistrate ordered a second hearing of the case after 15 days.<\/p>\n

            \nWhy do you think it is important for the person who makes an FIR to take a copy of the report? (Textbook Page No. 174)
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe complaint should have the acknowledgement for his complaint. After the F.I.R. is filed it becomes the duty of the police to investigate and solve the problem.<\/p>\n

            Question 17.
            \nWhat is a Fair Trial? Is it necessary? Why? Discuss. (Textbook Page No. 178)
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe rule of law says that everyone is equal before the law. Before deciding if someone is guilty she\/he will be allowed to a fair and impartial public hearing. Criminal prosecution starts with \u2018presumption of innocence\u2019 and the guilt must be proved beyond reasonable doubt.
            \nThis kind of trial is known as Fair Trial. It is necessary. If the trial is not fair, the victims may lose their confidence in the judiciary. This confidence only leads the people to judiciary.<\/p>\n

            \nDiscuss why is it necessary to hear the evidences given by the witnesses in any case. (Textbook Page No. 180)
            \nAnswer:
            \nIn any case the victims and the accused, support their own words in the court. So the truth may be under cover. Being third person, the witnesses uncover these truths. So it is neces\u00acsary to hear the evidences given by them in any case.<\/p>\n

            Question 19.
            \nCan you think of the reasons why the session\u2019s court may have reduced Ravi\u2019s punishment? (Textbook Page No. 181)
            \nAnswer:
            \nIn any country the penal code is to change the attitude of the accused. The district magistrate court imposed an imprisonment of 4 years. Then he appealed to the session\u2019s court. It took 2 years for judgement in this court. He spent half of his punishment period awaiting court decision. There is a chance of change in the behaviour of any person. So the court considered all these issues and reduced his punishment to one year.<\/p>\n

            Question 20.
            \nHigh Court does not summon the accused or witnesses before it. Why? (Textbook Page No. 182)
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe accused and witnesses are all appeared before the court at lower level. So it is not necessary to attend before the High Court. So it does not summon them.<\/p>\n

            Question 21.
            \nImagine that there is a big company cutting down forest and tribal cutting wood for fuel. Is impartiality a good thing? Debate. (Textbook Page No. 179)
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe tribals have natural right on forest. So they can be permitted to cut wood. They do no harm to the forests.
            \nSo we can support the tribals.
