Volume 6, Issue 2, 2025, pp. 53-60
ABSTRACT: The criminal justice system consists of the police, prosecution, courts and correctional administration. Each of these components in the system is to work in synchronization with each other. The harmonization among these organs will only make the success of the criminal justice system possible. The prosecution system which is considered as the crucial wing of the system has to play its role independent from any outside influence. The prosecutor is considered as the minister of the justice on whom there is always the burden of impartiality. This research paper will analytically emphasize the position, appointments and role of the prosecutors in the criminal justice system. It will also bring to light the critique of the role of the prosecutors and the challenges faced by them while performing their duties. The paper concludes with some valuable suggestions, which will contribute to the smooth functioning of the criminal justice system in general and the prosecution system in particular.
