Civil Courts :

The Court of the solapur District Judge is the highest civil court in a Solapur district to deal
with civil cases. The same court is called the Court of District and Sessions Judge, when it
deals with both civil and criminal cases at the district level. The judge of this court is
appointed by the Governor of the State. Below the Court of District Judge, there may be one
or more courts of sub judges in the district. Separate family courts, which are equal to courts
of sub judge, have been established in districts to exclusively hear cases of family disputes,
like divorce, custody of children, etc. Below them there are courts of munsifs and small
causes courts which decide cases involving petty amounts. No appeal can be made against the
decisions of the small causes’ courts. All these courts hear and settle civil disputes. The Court
of the District Judge (called the District Courts) hears not only appeals against the decisions
of the courts of sub judges, but also some of the cases begin directly in the Court of District
Judge itself. Appeals against the decisions of this court may be heard by the High Court of
the Maharashtra State. Civil Court deals with cases pertaining to disputes between two or
more persons regarding property, divorce, contract, and breach of agreement or landlord –

arson, pick-pocketing, physical assault, murder etc. In such cases the guilty person is awarded
punishment. It may be fine, imprisonment or even death sentence. Normally every accused is
presented by the police before a magistrate. The magistrate can finally dispose off cases of
minor crime. But when a magistrate finds prima-facie case of serious crime he/she may
commit the accused to the sessions court. Thus, sessions courts try the accused who are sent
upto them by the magistrate concerned. As mentioned above, an accused who is awarded
death sentence by the sessions court, can be hanged to death only after his sentence is
confirmed by the High Court.
