What is the Purpose of Criminal Proceedings in Indian Legal System ?

Purpose of Criminal Proceedings Explained 

"Criminal proceedings are not a proceeding for vindication of private grievance. They are initiated for the punishment of the offender in the interest of the society. It is for maintaining stability and orderliness in the society that certain acts are constituted offences and the right given to any citizen to set the machinery of criminal law into motion for the purpose of bringing the offender to book."
