Which is the highest criminal court in a district? Which type of cases does this Court deal with?
Ans : The highest criminal court is the court of the Session Judge. The Sessions Court deals with cases concerning more serious offences such as robbery, decoy and murder. The Sessions or Additional Sessions Judges alone can award death sentences or life imprisonment. It is mandatory that a sentence of death must be confirmed by the High Court.
