Exam s at 2 so let me join again..
In india judicial system is something like this
2 nd class judicial magistrate -1 yr imprissonment and 5000 rs fine
1 st class Judicial magistrate -3 yr imprisonment and 10000 rs fine
chief judicial magistrate- 7 yrs imprisonment and any amount fine..
additional/assistant sessions court- max 10 yrs imprissonment and any amount fine
sessions court can hand out death penalty..But it should be reviewed by high court..
Supreme court/high court apealate courts for criminal cases but for civil cases both apelate and original cases..
As for death penalty in my opinion its useless as the one who commits the mistake is dead and his family is the one who will have the mental agony..
Life imprissonment as max punishment should suffice as the person who commited the mistake should have self realisation of what he has done and must repent for his actions..
