    Solution

    Criminal courts are legal institutions responsible for adjudicating cases involving criminal offenses. They are established to impart justice to people and punish the offenders that go against the law and their hierarchy is established as per the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.  The Presidency Small Cause Courts Act of 1882 provides the legal framework for the establishment and functioning of Courts of Small Causes in India. These courts are set up by state governments and are empowered to handle civil cases of small value in a summary manner. The purpose behind these courts is to provide a swift and cost-effective resolution for disputes involving relatively minor amounts or matters of lesser complexity.
