- Filing FIR: Complainant will mention certain date, time and place of offence, what had happened, name of accused, name of witnesses and other details along with his signature to file FIR against accused.
Question 4.
Can the session’s or district court change the decision of a High Court? Why? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
No, the judgement given by the High Court can’t be changed by District (or) Session’s court in any case. The High Court is higher authority and its decision only prevails over se&suns or district Court.
Question 5.
If someone is not satisfied with the decision of a Session’s court and High Court, what can be done? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
If someone is dissatisfied with the session’s court judgement they can appeal in the High Court. If one is dissatisfied with the I ugh Court judgement they can appeal in the Supreme Court.
Question 6.
What are the differences between the role of the S.H.O. and the Magistrate? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
| S.H.O. | Magistrate |
| 1. The official incharge of the police station is called as “S.H.O”. | 1. The judge in the court is called as “Magistrate”. |
| 2. He will collect the evidences regarding the case. | 2. After hearing the Judge will declare the judgement. |
| 3. He keeps accused in jail to present him before the court. | 3. He conducts fair trial. |
Question 7.
In your view, what should have been the verdict in Ravis case?
Ravi’s lawyer appealed to the session’s court on his behalf. The session’s court ordered a stay on the decision of the judicial magistrate. This meant that Ravi, did not have to go to Jail immediately. In this court Ravi had to appear only once. Samba and their witnesses need not appear. The lawyer bundled the rest of the hearings. The session‘s court took two years to announce its judgement, Ravi was held guilty but his punishment was reduced by a year. (Reading the text (given), understanding and interpretation)
Answer:
I think that the punishment given by session court is correct, because Ravi beat Samba and injured him. In addition to that he cheated Samba by refusing him to give the flat (or)money. It is necessary to give punishment to such frauds in the courts by giving judgement without any delay. Then only one will fear to commit such type of crimes. In case oí Ravi, the courts took nearly two years time to give punishment. To reduce this delay, there is a need to open some more courts.
Question 8.
A person confessed his crime at the police station and the police locked him In jail for 6 months. Is this the correct procedure? Explain your answer. (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
Any person can surrender himself at the police station, but police can’t punish him directly. The police has only the Right to file an FIR against him and has to submit him before the Magistrate within 24 hours. The judge conducts fair trial impartially. Then, he will give the punishment to the convict. The punishment given by the Magistrate must be implemented by the police. Hence, the police should not detain the accused in jail for 6 months without any directions of the court.
Question 9.
How should be the behaviour of elders towards children t Give your suggestions for good behaviour to ensure child safety? (Appreciation and Sensitivity)
Answer:
- Children get many doubts in their childhood. They feel everything interesting to know, Elders have to patiently hear the questions posed by children and answer them.
- Children expect caring of their elders. They think that their elders are their property. If elders don’t show concern and attention, children slowly develop an insecurity feeling. This affects child’s life and career when the child grows up.
- Elders have to behave decently with children, Children imitate their elders knowingly or unknowingly. If elders use abusive language or quarrel among themselves, it sends wrong message to the tender minds of children.
- Elders have to be generous in their thoughts, showing affection and love towards small creatures and animals. This behaviour of elders shows a good impact on children.

Sir,
lam very sorry to bring to your notice the leasing of an auto driver for the last one month The auto driver tames small kids from nearby villages to the local school every day.

Discussion:
1. Why are there disputes in villages/families. What are the reasons for that? What sort of change in behaviour is necessary to avoid them?
Answer:
Mumtaz: Of late, our village is in the headlines of all newspapers
Sravani: Yes, every day, the clashes between two groups if focussed. What is the reason?
Mumtaz: As you know, all the wells in our village are dried up. Only one well has some water. Some of the villagers want to use the water for their crops. That is the problem.
Sravani: What is the wrong in providing water for dying crops? Don’t they incur loss if crops are not supported with watering?
Mumtaz: But what to do? The entire village faces severe drinking water problem if the well gets dried up totally.
Mumtaz: The village heads have to sit and discuss the problem They have to bring out an amicable solution.
Sravani: Yes, both the groups have to understand the severity of the problem. Everyone has to think over good cause of the village. If the crops are not given water, the farmers face severe financial loss. If the well dries up due to overdrawing of water, the entire village faces major drinking water problem.
Question 2.
Discuss on the conditions of the families related to the criminals who experienced jail life. Invite such persons and talk to them on jail life and freedom.
Answer:
We invited some family members related to criminals who experienced jail life. We talked with the family members. We invited one family to our school.
We: Hello, family members. Why was your son arrested and sent to jail.
Family members: It is our bad luck. Our son is addicted to drinking. Though we warned him many times, he didn’t pay attention to our words. One day, he drank severely and beat our daughter-in-law, tying to a tree. We tried to stop him. Our trails were in vain. The villagers complained to the police. They arrested him and sent to jail.
We: Who is the breadwinner of your family.
Family members: We are agricultural workers. We depend on daily wages. We have some cattle. We sell milk and other products and lead our life. We are all earning members of our family
We: Have you lost good support with your son going to jail.
Family members: Yes. Not only that, all our villagers and relatives are looking at us differently. They are not showing sympathy to us. Our grand sons and daughters ae facing humiliation in their educational institutions. We lost the reputation in the society.
We: Whats about your son in the jail.
Family members: His condition is very pathetic. He got repentance. He took an oath not to consume liquor in the life.
The jail staff too recognised the change in him. They recommended higher authorities to reduce his imprisonment period.
We: True repentance reduces sin. Let your son get remission soon.
Question 3.
Invite either a Police officer or an Advocate to your classroom and conduct a discussion on different crimes and their punishments and how to get on without committing crimes.
Answer:
Discussion:
We invited a senior advocate Sri Ajay Kumar to our class. We conducted a discussion on different crimes and punishments and how to lead a peaceful life without committing crimes.
We: Good morning sir. Sir, please let us know the different crimes and punishments under law.
Ajay Kumar: Very good. Nowadays, corruption, adultering eatables, eve teasing, domestic violence, violating traffic rules, robberies, murderers etc., are increasing.
We: Are there no severe punishments for these crimes.
Ajay Kumar: Every criminal has to face severe punishment. It varies according to severity of the crime. They may be fined from hundreds to lakhs of rupees and severe imprisonment from months to years. Sometimes, confiscation of properties, life imprisonment too are awarded. You may have heard about Kasab, a terrorist, who was hanged to death.
We: Is there no way toop these crimes.
Ajay Kumar: The jail life affects the criminal both physically and mentally. It is very hard to face jail life. There will be no freedom. One will be given hard tasks. As is said prevention is better than cure. Not committing crimes is the best way. Treating other fellow beings with love and affection, causing no harm to others’ rights are the only solutions.
We: Yes sir, our teachers too tell us that we have to abide by the law to lead a peaceful life. We too tn to know the rules and regulations.
Thank you, sir.
Project
1. In a town called Peace Land, the supporters of the Fiesta football team learnt that the supporters of the Jubilee football team in the city about 40km away have damaged the ground on which the final between both teams is to be held the following day. A crowd of Fiesta fans armed with deadly weapons attacked the homes of the supporters of the Jubilee football team in the town. In the attack, 10 men were killed, 5 women were gravely hurt, many homes were destroyed and over 50 people injured.
Imagine that you and your classmates are now part of the criminal justice system. First divide the class into the following four groups of persons:
1. Police
2. Public Prosecutor
3. Defence lawyer
4. Judge
The column on the right provides a list of functions. Match these with the roles that are listed on the left. Have each group picked the functions that it needs to perform to bring justice to those who were affected by the violence of the Fiesta fans, In what order, will these functions be performed?
Answer:
We can arrange the functions of the above persons in an order as shown below.
| Roles | Functions |
| Police | – Arrest the Fiesta fans, |
| – Get the assaulted women medically examined. | |
| – Take photographs of burnt homes. | |
| – Record the statement of the witness. | |
| Public Prosecutor | – Argue the case for the victims |
| – Examine the witnesses in the court. | |
| Defence lawyer | – Meet the accused persons. |
| Judge | – Conduct a fair trial |
| – Hear the witnesses. | |
| – Record the statements of witnesses. | |
| – Decide for how many years the accused will be put in jail. | |
| – Write the judgement. | |
| – Pass the judgement. |
Question 2.
Now take the same situation and ask one student who is a supporter of the Fiesta Club to perform all the functions listed above. Do you think the victims would get justice if only one person performed all of the functions of the criminal justice system? Why not?
Answer:
If only one person performs all the functions of criminal and judiciary, there will be injustice. Because there is a division between police department and judiciary. Criminal justice system is under the control of state government. So government representatives can influence the police department.
In that case victims will not have faith in justice. Judiciary is an independent body. It is not under the control of government. Once appointed, it’s very difficult to remove a judge. So, through judiciary, victims will be accused with justice. If only one person perform all duties, victims are not assured with fair justice in criminal justice system.
Question 3.
State two reasons why you believe that different persons need to play different roles as part of the criminal justice system.
Answer:
1. In criminal justice system, police is required. This is to respond to victims immediately to arrest the accused and to avoid further loss in society. Courts and Judges are required for conducting fair trail and to give punishments.
2. Police department is necessary to collect evidences. Judges, courts, and lawyers are essential in order to decide whether the accused is convicted or not. Because of these reasons we can say that different persons need to play different roles as part of the criminal justice system.
Intext Questions
Question 1.
Why did the complainant (Kranthi) wait for the SHO I S.L. to return? If you were to file such a report what would you write in it? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
The FIR must be recorded in the police register as per the complaint. Before that the FIR has to be checked and satisfied by the S.H.O. Then only he registers the complaint. So the complainant (Kranthi) has to wait for the S.H.O.
If I were to file such a report. I will write the following particulars.

Because of this incident, there was an altercation between Ravi and Samba. Ravi beat up Samba and broke his hand. Kranthi son of Samba gave a complaint against Ravi at the police station.
Question 3.
Why do you think it is important for the person who makes an FIR to take a copy of the report? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
A complaint given at the police station should be accepted by the S.H.O. to record it. Otherwise, it may not be entered in records. A copy of the FIR can be given free of charge to the complainant. Hence it is very important for the person who makes an FIR to take a copy of the report.

Question 19.
Imagine that there is a big company cutting down forest and tribal cutting wood for fuel. Is impartiality a good thing? Debate. (Reflection on contemporary issues and questioning)
Answer:
We can say impartially, that cutting down trees and exploiting forests by anyone is not a good thing. Protecting nature and forests is our duty. Cutting down the forests spoils biodiversity. Environmental pollution also increases.
Existence of man falls in danger as the earth is being heated. Hence, forests are to be protected in all ways,
(or)
In my opinion, cutting down forests by big companies and tribal cutting wood for fuel are not same. Cutting down the forests by a big company comes under exploitation of natural resources. Certain companies are destructing forests for their own benefits. It is impossible to renaissance the forests once destroyed. It is a permanent loss for environment and biodiversity.
If tribals cut wood for fuel only, they can grow easily again. Their life depends upon forest products only. Hence, when compared to tribals, deforestation by a big company is not a good thing.

Question 20.
Discuss why it is necessary to hear the evidences given by the witnesses in any case? (Conceptual understanding)

Witnesses play an important role in any case. They are to be admitted in the court as they are in the place of crime which is happened and they have watched it directly.

Text Book Page No. 182
Question 23.
Can you think of the reasons why the sessions court may have reduced Ravi’s punishment? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
The session’s court has reduced the punishment of Ravi from 4 years to 3 years. There may be many reasons for this. One of the reasons is, Ravi experienced the punishment as he has accused already. Also, the Judges may thought of Ravi that he has mistaken in emotion by wounding Samba, and so it is not a planned attempt.
As the civil case is the reason behind the offence, the behaviour and attitude of Ravi may be changed. Because of these reasons may be the sessions court reduced his punishment.
Question 24.
High Court does not summon the accused or witnesses before it. Why? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
Yes, the high court does not summon the accused of witnesses before it. Because, they were enquired previously in the below courts, completely. Their words were recorded. In addition to the documents also witnesses are present there. It is not necessary to call them again and again. Also, the time could be wasted by remanding them. Cases may be delayed because of this also.
Question 25.
Kranthi says “My father got justice but too late”. Do you agree with him? (Appreciation and Sensitivity)
Answer:
Yes. I agree with the opinion of Kranthi. Samba got justice. But the courts took 4 years ol time to give punishment to Ravi. It is essential to give punishments without any delay. To reduce this delay, there is a need to open some more courts.
