Lawyers are being held responsible for an increasing amount of client-held data. Failure to understand client collection and storage of electronically-stored information (ESI) can have dire consequences for clients and the lawyers that represent them.
Rather than wait for litigation to occur and having to scramble under discovery requests, law firms should begin guiding and organizing their clients' ESI to identify and prevent problems before they occur.
Investigation turns turn discovery on it's head by centralizing and storing information to produce on demand.
Vskills certification for Criminal Procedure Code Analyst assesses the candidate as per the company’s need for legal assistance on CrPC related cases. The certification tests the candidates on various areas in rights of an arrested person, FIR, complaints to magistrates, charge, trial, bail, compounding of offences and quashing of FIR.
The lecture shows, by means of an example the importance, cooperation in regard to the determination of facts has. It makes clear that all parties involved, judicial authorities and investigation authorities, need to work together form the very beginning. At the same time it clarifies at which point cooperation ends and the authorities investigate further depending on their respective assignment of tasks.
Conclusion: only, if both authorities have the same level of information regarding the determined facts, a more in-depth investigation by the accident investigation authority and determination of causes without blaming someone is possible without interference by the judicial authority or legal representatives.
“Plead Guilty and Bargain Lesser Sentence” is the shortest possible meaning of Plea Bargaining.
The Principle of ‘Nolo Contendere’ - "I do not wish to contend”
‘Plea Bargaining’ can be defined as ‘pre-trial negotiations between the accused and the prosecution during which the accused agrees to plead guilty in exchange for certain concessions by the prosecution.’

Proving contradictions and omissions in cross-examination is soul of criminal trial, but many are not aware about correct procedure of doing it. This presentation is made available for information of law students, lawyers, etc. purely for academic purpose.
An individual can seek bail if he has any fear or anticipation of being arrested in a non-bailable offence. An anticipatory bail is meant to safeguard a person accused of false charges, in the evnet of he/ she being sought to be arrested by the police in the name of custodial interrogation.

Police Remand Judicial Remand & Default bail by Vijay Pal Dalmia AdvocateVijay Dalmia
Police Remand Judicial Remand & Default bail by Vijay Pal Dalmia Advocate
Police Remand Judicial Remand & Default bail by Vijay Pal Dalmia Advocate - Terms, Conditions, Rights of Accused. Duty of Police and Courts
The right to be taken out of Police custody by being brought before a Magistrate is a right given in the interest of, the accused.
Arrest and detention can not be used to extract confession or as a means of compelling people to give information.
It prevents Police Stations being used as though they were prisons - a purpose for which they are unsuitable.
It affords an early recourse to a judicial officer independent of the Police on all questions of bail or discharge.
When the petitioner was arrested the Police Officer knew that he cannot complete his investigation within 24 hours, in such a case, Section 167(1), Cr.P.C. provides for the transmission forthwith of a copy of the entries in the Police Diary relating to the case and for the production of the accused before such Magistrate.
Special emphasis has to be laid on the words "forthwith" in Section 167(1).
The Criminal Procedure Code does not authorise detention by the police for 24 hours after the arrest.
A Police Officer making an arrest without warrant shall, without unnecessary delay take or send the person arrested before a Magistrate.
No Police Officer shall detain in custody a person arrested without warrant for a longer period than under all the circumstances of the case is reasonable, and such period shall not, in the absence of a special order of a Magistrate under Section 167, exceed twenty four hours exclusive of the time necessary for the journey from the place of arrest to the Magistrate's Court.
Thus, the twenty-four hours prescribed is the outermost limit beyond which a person cannot be detained in Police custody.
It is certainly not an authorization for the Police to detain him for twenty-four hours in their custody.
It is only in a case where a Police Officer considers that the investigation can be completed within the period of twenty-four hours that such detention for twenty-four hours is permitted. This is clear from Section 167(1), Cr.P.C.
When an arrested person is brought before a Magistrate, he has to decide whether
he should remand the person to Jail custody under Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. as requested by the Police and at the same time he has to decide whether the request of the person for bail should be granted.
In order to decide the question of remand, he must be satisfied on a perusal of the entries in the Police Diary that there were grounds for believing that the accusation or information against the accused was well founded and that the Police have exercised their right of arresting without warrant legally and further that it was necessary for the purpose of investigation that the accused should be remanded to custody.
Unless, the Magistrate is satisfied on all these points, he can- not remand the accused to Jail custody.
It. is for this purpose that Section 167(1) enjoins that a copy of the entries in the Police Diary should be transmitted to Court.
The formal appearance of an accused person to hear, and to receive a copy of, the charge against him or her, in the presence of a judge, and to then enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
