Criminal law has a distinguishing role to play in the social world, as it is the essential legal organization by which a community reconstructs the ethical premise of its social order, and its moral life. Hence, in the wake of an assault on that moral life, it is a function that provides a distinct centre to it, from different territories of law. However, it is not obvious, why the concept of embodied ethical life is in a way Associatesd with the thought about crime and punishment.

Introduction: Law is a collection of rules and principles created and enforced by the state whereas morals are a collection of beliefs, values and principles and behaviour standards which are enforced and created by society. Legal and moral rules can be differentiated, with the previous being created by the legislative institution of Parliament; and the latter have evolved with and through society, and are the standards that society generally accepts and promotes. Some laws mirror the bulk of society’s moral view; for instance, murder is wrong, but the introduction of same-sex marriages is seen as morally wrong by some, thus. society is split.

Criminal jurisprudence in India is governed by 3 acts, namely Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act (IEA) which are replaced by Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. These laws replaced the India Penal Code , the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively. They came into effect on July 1,2024. Besides this, there are special laws enacted to address specific criminal offenses like Prevention of Corruption Act, POSCO. Since criminal acts are considered offences in rem i.e. against society, therefore state acts as the prosecuting party in court.
