2. CrPC (Criminal Procedure Code):

- The CrPC provides the procedural framework for the administration of criminal justice. It outlines the process for investigating crimes, conducting trials, and administering justice.

It includes procedures for arrest, bail, investigation, prosecution, and trial processes. It also deals with the rights of the accused and the roles of the police and the courts.
