There are four key players in the criminal justice system: The Police, The Public Prosecutor, The Defence Lawyer, and The Judge.

The main role of the police is to investigate a crime, when FIR, i.e. First Information Report is registered at a police station.
An investigation includes recording statements of witnesses and collecting different kinds of evidence.
The role of the Public Prosecutor begins when the police have filed the charge sheet in the court.

The Public Prosecutor conducts the prosecution on the behalf of the State.
The judge conducts the trial impartially in an open court and on the basis of the evidence presented, he pronounces the sentence.
According to Indian Constitution, every citizen, irrespective of class, caste, gender, religion, and background must get a fair trial when accused.
