Difference Between Civil Law and Criminal Law

Normally Civil Law is termed as FOJDARI and Criminal Law is called as Dewani in Pakistan and India.
These two terms has their background and significance.
During the regime of Mughals in sub continent,  the Mughals introduced two different departments to deal with the respective departments.
They distiguished criminal law from that of civil law.
The department dealing with the civil cases was termed as Dewani and its head was called as DIWAN.
The department dealing with the ciminal cases was named as Fojdari and its head was named as FOJDAR.

The offence against the state comes in the ambit of criminal cases.Mens Rea and Actus Reus is the most important element to constitute an offence.

Civil cases deals with the remedy available to any person for his redressal of grivience in individual capacity. Cause of action is an essential element in civil cases.

O J Simpson's case is the best example to deals with the both of Laws.
OJ Simpson was acquitted from the charge of double murder by the Jury in the criminal case,  while,  the civil court ordered to compensate the legal heirs of O J simpson.

For example,  if unfortunately you meet an accident due to the fault of another party. Then,  you have two remedies available for you.
The person would be prosecuted against the charge of rash driving by the criminal court.
And you being an aggrived person can claim for compensation from the civil court.
