CMM Court process
Case life cycle
The case starts from a petition to court (CR) or from the local police station (GR). If the petion is Not Ok the court or the police station may reject the petition. Keep in mind the petion become case if and only if it has a mention number.
Generally there are 3 types of case, Criminal, civil and Tribunal (Specail case with special jurisdiction) .
For the CMM (chief metropolitan magistrate) court the petion start from the office of SERESTA* . Generally petitioners complain for any issue go to court and find a hand (lawyer or petitioner him self) to complain about some isseus. Then the complain submit to the SERESTA, the body then check the papers, supporting document, payment slip, stamps etc and mention a sign over the file. Also there is a record book which is a Govt. record. SERESTA maintain the record book (Complaint Register) by keeping the petitions with the number.
Case filing begin either Assistant judge court or Sub judge court wheres appeal in Judge court.
After filing a petition, if Governing body think the complain is valid the court may issue summons. Summon may be send by the govt. postal service to the xpartie. or may be in any print media* . The xpartie may have 30-90 days to submit written statement. if failed then court impose written order.
Inside the court The judge hear the arguments of both end and framing the issue of dispute points. If the Court(judge) think the case need more/further hearing (due to more investigation, document collection, witness etc.) then Court order for further hearing(FH) with hearing date and cause.
