Under Section 211 CrPC, every charge framed by the court must contain:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. Section 211(1) CrPC: 'Every charge under this Code shall state the offence with which the accused is charged.' Sub-sections (2)-(7) require the section of law, the name given by law (e.g. 'murder', 'theft'), and the manner of alleged commission.
2. Sections 212-214 deal with particulars: time, place, person, things in respect of which the offence is committed.
3. Sections 215-216 deal with the effects of errors in the charge and permission to alter.
4. The charge is the foundation of trial; defects can be cured if no failure of justice (S. 215).
5. Hence option B is correct.
