Historical background of the Criminal Justice System

The codification of criminal laws in India was done during British rule, which more or less remains the same even in the 21st century.

Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay is said to be the chief architect of codifications of criminal laws in India.

Criminal law in India is governed by Indian Penal Code, 1860, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and Indian Evidence Act, 1872, etc.

Criminal law is considered to be the most apparent expression of the relationship between a state and its citizens.
