what are the functions of the session judge
Answers
Answer.
District court is referred to as sessions court when it exercises its jurisdiction on criminal matters under Code of Criminal procedure (CrPc)
As per section 9 of CrPc, the court is established by the State Government for every sessions division. The court is presided over by a Judge, appointed by the High Court of that particular state. The High Court may also appoint Additional Sessions Judges and Assistant Sessions Judges in this court.[6]
In Indian cities, the Sessions Court is responsible for adjudicating matters related to criminal cases.[7] The court is responsible for cases relating to murders, theft, dacoity, pick-pocketing and other such cases.
In Mumbai (Bombay) there are two courts, the main one being in the Kala Ghoda region of South Mumbai second at in Dindoshi in the suburban area of Goregaon.[8]
Sessions court has the power to impose the full range of penalties for criminal acts, including the death penalty.[9]
Originally, the Sessions Courts heard each case continuously in sessions and delivered judgements immediately on completion of arguments. Hence the name 'Sessions Court' meant that the cases would be disposed off expeditiously. One of the important reasons for delays in the Indian Judicial System, is that the concept of 'Sessions' is observed only in breach due to repeated adjournments, loop holes in the case papers and backlog of cases. The Government of India has not found a solution to this endemic problem.
