CHAPTER XX CHARGES Note:- see Schedule 111, 43. 191. Charge to State Offence. (1) Every charge under this Code shall state the offence with which the accused is charged. (2) If the law which creates the offence gives it any specific name, the offence may be described in the charge by that name only; (3) If the law, which creates the offence, does not give it any specific name, so much of the definition of the offence must be stated as to give the accused notice of the matter with which he is charged. (4) The law and section of the law against which the offence is said to have been committed shall be mentioned in the charge. (5) The fact that the charge is made is equivalent to a statement that every legal condition required by law to constitute the offence charged was fulfilled in the particular case. (6) The charge shall be written in English or when necessary in any other language prevalent in the area. 192. Particulars as to Time, Place and Person. (1) The charge shall contain such particulars as to the time and place of the alleged offense and the person (if any) against whom, or the thing (if any) in respect of which it was committed as are reasonably sufficient to give the accused notice of the matter with which he is charged. (2) When the accused is charged with criminal breach of trust or criminal misappropriation of money, it shall be sufficient to specify the gross sum in respect of which the offence is alleged to have been committed and the dates between which the offence is alleged to have been committed without specifying particular items or exact dates, and the charge so framed shall be deemed to be a charge of a single offence. (3) When the accused is charged with falsification of accounts under section 415 of the Penal Code it shall be sufficient to allege a general intent to defraud without naming any particular person intended to be defrauded to be the subject of the fraud or any particular day on which the offence was committed. 193. When Manner of Committing Offence must be stated. When the nature of the case is such that the particulars mentioned in sections 191 and 192 do not give the accused sufficient notice of the matter with which he is charged the charge shall also contain such particulars of the manner in which the alleged offence was committed as will be sufficient for that purpose. 64
