Question

Public prosecutor is ____________.

• A. One who represents the interests of state
• B. One who investigate crime
• C. Both A & B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A One who represents the interests of state

In court, it is the Public Prosecutor who represents the interests of the State. The role of the Prosecutor begins once the police has conducted the investigation and filed the charge-sheet in the court. He/she has no role to play in the investigation. The Prosecutor must conduct the prosecution on behalf of the State. As an officer of the court, it is his/ her duty to act impartially and present the full and material facts, witnesses and evidence before the court to enable the court to decide the case.
