Q: Which cases are triable by court of Session and Magistrate Court ?

Ans: Basing on the seriousness of the offence, criminal cases are categorized under two heads viz:

Summons cases; and

Warrant cases.

Among warrant cases, the cases which are more serious in nature are triable by the Court of Session, while less serious cases are triable by the Courts of Magistrate. A Court of Session cannot take cognizance of any offence, though it is triable by it. A competent Magistrate takes cognizance of any offence and commits the case for trial by a Court of Session. Trial of Criminal cases may be explained with reference to the following heads:

Trial (of Warrant-Cases) before a Court of Session.

Trial of Warrant-Cases by Magistrates.

Trial of Summons-Cases by Magistrates.

Summary Trials.
