In any case, mostly in criminal cases, you can find the name of the person versus the State of the name.
For example:- X v/s. The State of Maharashtra & Others
Whenever any crime is committed like murder, rape, etc. It is said that a crime is committed not only against the victim but against society at large. And that is why the State is made a party in the case. Whenever a state is made a party to a case, a public prosecutor that is a government lawyer will represent the case for the victim.
And others means all the respective authorities that are made a party in the case.
For example:- Others can include the Director-General of Police, Commissioner of Police, Government of Maharashtra, etc. depending upon the case.
