Criminal Case Litigation in Bangladesh
Overview of Criminal Law in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, criminal law is primarily governed by the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898, the Penal Code 1860, and the Evidence Act 1872. These laws outline the procedures for handling criminal offenses, which can be classified as either cognizable or non-cognizable. Cognizable offenses allow police to arrest without a warrant, while non-cognizable offenses require a warrant.
