Costs

 In criminal cases no costs are awarded to the prosecution against the convicted person. The costs are borne by the State or parties. However, while imposing fines, the court may direct that a part of fine realised may be given to the injured party by way of compensation. In addition, the court may, if it deems fit, order payment on the part of the court of reasonable expenses of any complainant or witness attending for the purpose of enquiry. In appropriate cases when adjournment is asked for the court may order payment of costs to the prosecution or the accused as the case may be.
