Introduction

A criminal offence is a crime against sate, society and the public at large. A criminal case pertains to a breach of law for which remedy lies in arrest, detention, conviction, and punishment of the culprit involved in the commission of the crime. The conduct of a trial in a criminal case is different from that of a civil case not only in form and procedure of trial but also in recording of evidence. In a criminal case, state, being the custodian of life, honor and property of law-abiding and peace loving citizens, is immediately set in motion as soon as some crime is committed. On completion of investigation, the challan of a criminal case is sent up to the competent criminal court for recording of Persecution and Defense evidence including statements of Investigation Officer and other public eye-witnesses on the one hand and the statement of accused under section 342 Cr. PC on the other hand.
