Public Prosecutor is a person who represents interests of the state in the court. The work of the public prosecutor begins once the police has done the investigation and filed a chargesheet in the court.He/She has no role to play in the investigation. Public Prosecutor must do prosecution on behalf of the state . As an officer of the court he must act impartially and present real and material facts, evidences , witnesses and proofs to enable the court to take the right decision.
