MAGISTRATES-----
(1) CHIEF JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE
{i}ADDL. C.J.M.
(2) JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE (I st CLASS)
(2) JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE (II nd CLASS)
Power to hear and decide criminal matters.
JUDGES-------
(1) CIVIL JUDGE (Senior Division)
(2) CIVIL JUDGE (Junior Division)
Power to hear and decide civil matters.
So there is no such difference, every judicial oficer at 1st appoint as a Civil Judge and the power of Magistrate'll given to him for criminal matters.
DISTRICT AND SESSIONS JUDGE-----
(1) DISTRICT JUDGE---- One in a District.
when hear n decide the civil matters, called District Judge.
(2) SESSIONS JUDGE----when hear n decide Criminal sessions triable matters, called Sesions Judge.
