Description
Rules of practice is an important part of procedural law as it governs the steps to be followed in the Subordinate Courts. For Civil Courts, Civil Rules of Practice applies and for Criminal Courts, Criminal Rules of Practice applies. Though Criminal Procedure Code stipulates the procedure to be followed, it does not say anything about various aspects like the issue of summons to various persons, the presentation of pleadings, reports and documents, appointment of Pleaders, forms of affidavits etc. Practice in Criminal Courts cannot be successful without adequate knowledge in the Criminal Rules of Practice. Thus Rules of practice are indispensable for the Lawyers, Judges, Court staff and the litigants.
