Framing of Charge

Framing of charge is the process by which the charges against the accused are formally read out and explained to them in open court.
The charge is framed by the judge after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense.
The charge is framed based on the evidence presented during the investigation and the trial.
The charge should be precise and unambiguous, so that the accused knows exactly what they are being charged with.
The charge must be framed before the accused is called upon to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.
If the accused pleads guilty, the court may proceed to deliver the verdict and sentence the accused accordingly.
If the accused pleads not guilty, the trial proceeds, and the prosecution is required to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt.
If the judge finds that there is no sufficient evidence to support the charge, the accused is acquitted.
