JC stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of JC across different fields and industries.
JS in some police or legal shorthand may be used to refer to Judicial Custody, though more commonly it is abbreviated as JC. However, if JS is being used in your context to mean Judicial Custody, it refers to a stage in the criminal justice process where an accused person is remanded to custody under the authority of a magistrate, rather than kept under police custody.
In Judicial Custody, the individual is sent to jail (rather than a police lock-up) while the investigation is ongoing or until trial. This usually happens after the initial period of police custody ends. The accused remains under the jurisdiction of the court and can be granted bail, or the custody can be extended depending on the legal proceedings.
