Advanced Certificate in Criminal Procedural Laws in India

The procedural criminal law in India is governed by two legislations- the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) and the Indian Evidence Act, 1972. The CrPC encompasses all the details about the procedure to be followed in every investigation, inquiry and trial, for every offence under the IPC or any other law. It strives to ensure a fair trial where none of the rights of the accused are compromised nor are they unjustifiably favoured. The Indian Evidence Act, on the other hand, provides detailed provisions relating to admissibility of evidence. Both of these legislations work together, with the substantive criminal law (the Indian Penal Code, 1860) to provide justice to the victims. The Advanced Certificate in Criminal Procedural Laws in India is brought to you by Scriboard Advocates and Legal Consultants, one of the leading law firms in the field, in association with Enhelion. It provides a detailed analysis of criminal procedural laws in India i.e. the provisions of CrPC and the Indian Evidence Act, 1972. It further analyses the provisions relating to admissibility of evidence, and significance of such evidence in the trial of an offence.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The evaluation will be conducted in a two-fold manner. There will be one MCQ test  which would test the basic understanding on the topics covered in the course. Furthermore, there will be one Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the same.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can take the MCQ test and submit the project assignment as per your convenience.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure a minimum of 40 percent overall.
