    Question

    Court need not frame charges in which case?

    A Warrant case Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Warrant case with police report Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Summons case Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Summary trials Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under section 251 Code of Criminal Procedure, when the accused appears or is brought before the  Magistrate, particulars of the offence with which he is accused or the accusation leveled against the accused shall be stated to him and he shall be asked whether he pleads guilty or has any defence to make. Either in summary trial cases or in summons procedure cases, it is not at all necessary to frame a charge against the accused person. If the accused pleads not guilty and claims to be tried after his examination under section 251 Cr.PC in a summary trial case, court has to conduct trial by following the procedure for summary trials and pronounce judgment under section 264 Cr.PC.
