THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 1898
(V OF 1898)
[22nd March, 1898]
An Act to consolidate and amend the law
relating to the Criminal Procedure
228. When trial may proceed immediately after
alteration. If the charge framed or alteration or addition made
under [1][...] Section 227 is such that proceeding
immediately with the trial is not likely, in the opinion of the Court, to
prejudice the accused in his defence or the prosecutor in the conduct of the
case, the Court may, in its discretion, after such charge or alteration has
been framed or made, proceed with the trial as if the new or altered charge has
been the original charge.
