Is it correct?

Rape is a crime and I know that as far as criminal cases are concerned, the State takes the cognizance of the case and the Public Prosecutor argues the case for the State on behalf of the victim.  The victim need not to engage any lawyer for herself. The accused engages a defense lawyer. In HD,on behalf of victim, Rishi, may be a junior lawyer is arguing...I think not at all necessary and  also not permitted. I guess I am correct.



In each criminal case, the Trial begins at Sessions Court and the charge is instituted  under the sections of IPC and the case is proceeded as per the  Cr.PC and the State takes the cognizance of the case and the PP argues on  behalf of the State and  has to prove the guilt of the accused.The State represents the victim in criminal cases. State is one of the parties in criminal cases.I guess.

State prosecutor should be the prosecuting lawyer on behalf of Indira. I guess this is creative licensing😉

The Public Prosecutor is appointed by the Government after certain years of experience after fulfilling certain conditions of eligibility. Not just like that. Some process is there for their appointment. They only argue the criminal cases,I guess.

i think they just want to portray the power of the DIWANS

The Public Prosecutor will come in to play when the case goes for appeal in High Court from Court of Districts & Sessions. So to begin with they do need a Junior Lawyer. Edited by Nels - 12 years ago

So whether it is Lower Court or Appeal Court,in criminal cases,State takes the cognizance of the case.State is one of the parties in criminal cases.

rishi is lead .so cvs using him as lawyer and this case should bring rishi and indira closer.

otherwise rape should be represented by public prosecutor only.

even in movie damini [some what this case is similar to that]  meenakshi uses private lawyer not public prosecutor.
