Question and options
Which of the following systems is followed in India for dispensation of criminal justice?
- Adversarial system
- Inquisitorial system
- Jury system
- Civil law system
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Adversarial system
Indian criminal trials follow the adversarial (accusatorial) system: the prosecution and the defence present and test the evidence before a neutral judge, and trials under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 follow that model. The inquisitorial system, in which the judge leads the inquiry, belongs to civil-law countries, and India no longer uses jury trials.
