Example 1:

Scenario: A theft case is being tried in a criminal court in Mumbai.

Application of Section 327(1): The courtroom is open to the public, meaning anyone can attend the trial and observe the proceedings. This ensures transparency and allows the public to witness the judicial process.

Example 2:

Scenario: A rape case is being tried in a criminal court in Delhi.
