Court is an institution which is sets up by government of India to settle the dispute between 2 or more parties. The court decide the matter through a legal process. For example if traffic police charge me with a Callahan for jumping red light, but I am sure I didn’t jump, in this case court is the institution who will decide what happened actually. Another example if I have dispute with my brother regarding my fathers property, and I can’t settle it myself then court will decide. There are different levels of court. If i am not satisfied with the courts order, It is my right to appeal against the order in upper court for example High Court or Supreme Court.
Similarly we have different types of court too. A simple example if Civil & Criminal Courts. In simple words we can say matter which is civil in nature will be taken care by Civil Court and matter which is criminal in nature will be taken care by Criminal Court. For example a dispute for property share is civil in nature hence will be handled by a civil court, and a matter related to murder is criminal in nature hence will be taken care by criminal court.
In both the court as a procedure each party provide evidences to support their claim and present arguments to support their claim they also draw attention to the weakness of opposite party’s arguments as well as evidences. These evidences and arguments are presented in front of an authority we call it magistrate / judge. Based on then decide the matter based on facts presented.
