Option 1 : Only A and B

The correct answer is - Only A and B.

• The legal system is divided into two branches: criminal law and civil law.
• Criminal law:
  • It deals with conduct or acts that the law defines as offences. For example theft, harassing a woman to bring more dowry, murder.
  • It usually begins with the lodging of an First Information Report (FIR) with the police who investigate the crime after which a case is filed in the court.
  • If found guilty, the accused can be sent to jail and also fined.
• Civil law:
  • It deals with any harm or injury to rights of individuals. For example, disputes relating to sale of land, purchase of goods, rent matters, divorce cases.
  • A petition has to be filed before the relevant court by the affected party only. In a rent matter, either the landlord or tenant can file a case.

  • The court gives the specific relief asked for. For instance, in a case between a landlord and a tenant, the court can order the flat to be vacated and pending rent to be paid.

Hence, we can conclude that the following statements are associated with criminal law in India:

A. Case is filed in the court after investigation of the crime.

B. Deals with conduct or acts that are offences in the eyes of the law
