Answer

Criminal Law:
$-$Deals with conduct or acts that the law defines as offences. For example, theft, harassing a woman to bring more dowry, murder.
$-$It usually begins with the lodging of a First Information Report $(\text{FIR})$ with the police who investigate the crime after which a case is filed in the court.
$-$If found guilty, the accused can be sent to jail and also fined.
Civil Law:
$-$Deals with any harm or injury to rights of individuals. For example, disputes relating to sale of land purchase of goods, rent matters, divorce cases.
$-$A petition has to be filed before the relevant court by the affected party only. In a rent matter, either the landlord or tenant can file a case.
