Criminal Justice Administration (1781-90)

Criminal Justice Administration  (1781-90).......

Magistrates did not have ability to prosecute the crime.They could only take the case from the subordinate policemen and if they considered appropriate in the time of crime they would have sent them to  Darogaa for Justice.  Daroga was an officerer working  under zizam.

Provide  power to magistrates for managing small cases.....In 1785 the government gave powers to magistrates to impose punishments not less than four days and 15 days after hearing the cases such as the theft of physical  assault, such as physical assault outside, the magistrate couldn’t  interfere.

Plenty of time......There was a lot of time in the hearing of the case.A 1970 statement found that before hearing the transfer of the accused to Darogaa, it would take an average  of one month for the hearing. If the evidence  was presented quickly then verdict could be pronounced within 8 to 10 months. But where there was no such simplification,  the guilty would have to face trial for 4 to 6 years.Those who are being judged by this system  or those who are awaiting  authority  from Nizam, often go out on bail, even if the killer and the other person were treated  the same way. As a result  of this unsual  observation, the level of work was very low. Throughout  the day, only one case was filed between Magistrate and Daroga. The main reason for this delay was that all the cases of this Bengal  were sent to Naib Nizam  for the verdict and no case was settled on the spot.

Humble and polite attributables:There is not much to know  about the Daroga court.The trial of the judges seemed humble and modest in nature when they used to punish a small  punishment as punishment for morder or Robbery. In this case, the magjstrate was advise that they would be sued in the Darogara court for better conduct of the case. In April 1971, there were  some murder and Robbery cases which were awarded to 39 Battasat or 4 months in prison or one year.
