Major Differences between Criminal and Civil Laws

  • As the names suggest, criminal law refers to crimes, such as robbery, murder, arson, rape, etc. On the other hand, civil law deals with non- heinous disputes related to property, divorce, money, etc. You can find out more about the coverage of each type of law at Vidhikarya. 

 

  • The government files a criminal case, whereas the distressed individual or company termed the plaintiff files the civil case. 

 

  • The punishment for a criminal offence involves imprisonment. But, on the other hand, the alleged individuals in the civil disputes usually have to pay compensation because of their act.

 

  • In a criminal law case, the alleged person is concluded as guilty or not guilty, whereas in a civil law case, the wrongdoer is termed liable or not liable. 

 

  • The basic intention of criminal law is to maintain law and order in society and punish the criminal. On the contrary, civil law aims at protecting the rights of the individual or organisation. It provides the distressed party with the lost amount as compensation.
