🎯 The Answer: Oh Yes, There’s a HUGE Difference!
Civil and Criminal matters are handled differently in Indian law, and knowing the distinction can save you time, stress, and maybe even jail! 😅🚔
⚖️ Civil Cases = Money, Property & Rights
If you’ve been cheated, want your money back, or are fighting over property, you’re in the Civil Courtroom. 👩💼🏠
Examples:
Recovery of money
Property disputes
Breach of contract
Divorce and family issues
Consumer complaints
Punishment? No jail — just compensation or court orders.

🚨 Criminal Cases = Offences Against Society or State
If someone has committed a crime, the State gets involved. Think of it as society vs. the accused. 👮♂️🔐
Examples:
Theft
Fraud
Assault
Murder
Cybercrime
Punishment? Jail, fine, or both.
