41 Charge sheet 145.(1) In order to record the charge and draft the charge sheet, the Magistrate shall ascertain the satisfaction of all the ingredients and conditions required by the law. (2) The charge sheet shall set forth the offence, attributed to the accused, by mentioning the essential elements, and name thereof, and the section and the provision of the law, which the offence is alleged to have been committed, in contravention thereof. (3) Where it transpires, from the nature of the criminal suit, that the details mentioned in sub-section (2), do not suffice to bring to the accused’s knowledge of such charge, as may be attributed to him, the charge sheet shall contain, likewise, the details pertaining to the manner, in which the alleged offence has been committed, the time and place thereof, and the tool used therein and the victim. Charge sheet dispensed with 146. The court may, where it deems that the charge preferred by the Prosecution is sufficient, dispense with drafting the charge sheet, and address the accused directly with the charge, to reply to the same. Amendment of the charge sheet 147.(1) The court, whenever it deems the same fit, during the trial, may amend the charge sheet, by addition, or omission, or redraft the same afresh. (2) The court shall read the amended, or new charge sheet, to the accused, and take his reply thereto. (3) The court may, upon amendment, or redrafting the charge sheet, order new trial, adjourn the trial, to such period, as it may deem fit, or continue in the trial, where the same does not prejudice the prosecution, or defense case. (4) Whenever the court amends, or redrafts the charge sheet, it shall allow the representative of the prosecution, and the accused, to call any witness, who has previously been examined, where it deems the same necessary, for achievement of justice. Similar offences 148. Whenever a person has been charged with several offences, having one characteristic, or similar characteristics, he may be charged, and tried in one trial, for any number thereof. Where the court deems that the accused may be unable to defend himself, by reason of such procedure, or that the same may lead to dalaying the trial procedure, it may order a separate trial, for any of the said charges.
