What’s the Difference Between Civil and Criminal Cases in India?

 What’s the Difference Between Civil and Criminal Cases in India?” πŸ§‘‍⚖️ | Kanoon Ka Confusion Cleared in Style! πŸ˜ŽπŸ“š

πŸ’¬ Client Question:
"Sir, my neighbour encroached on my land, but my friend says I should file a criminal case. Isn’t it a civil matter? What’s the actual difference between civil and criminal cases in India? 🀷‍♂️"

😎 Answer:
Ah, the classic courtroom mix-up! Civil or criminal — both sound serious, but they’re poles apart like chai and coffee ☕⚖️

πŸ“Œ Civil Cases = Disputes between individuals/entities
✔ Purpose: Compensation or specific relief, not punishment
✔ Examples: Property disputes, breach of contract, divorce, recovery suits, consumer complaints
✔ Governing Law: Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (CPC)

πŸ“Œ Criminal Cases = Offence against society or state
✔ Purpose: Punishment (jail, fine, or both)
✔ Examples: Theft, murder, fraud, assault, cybercrime, cheque bounce
✔ Governing Law: Indian Penal Code (IPC) + Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC)

πŸ“ˆ Key Differences At-a-Glance:
➡ Civil = Rights Violation | Criminal = Crime Committed
➡ Civil = Private Party sues | Criminal = State prosecutes
➡ Civil = Compensation | Criminal = Punishment
➡ Civil = Preponderance of Evidence | Criminal = Beyond Reasonable Doubt

🀣 Fun Analogy:
Civil case: “Give me my money or give my land back!” πŸ’ΈπŸ 
Criminal case: “Put him behind bars, he broke the law!” πŸš”πŸš¨
