Charged with and tried for an offence
Charged with and tried for an offence, The words 'charged with and tried for an offence' mean that there are accusations and allegations against the person. The words 'charged with' are used in s. 5(1)(a) of the Criminal Law Amendment (Amending) Act, 1966 in contra-distinction to the words 'charges have already been framed' in s. 5(1)(b) of the Act. Therefore the use of separate words in the two separate cls. (a) and (b) is significant to indicate that the statute speaks of the words 'charged with' in cl. (a) not in the sense of 'charges have been framed' in cl. (b). The legislative intent is abundantly clear from the use of separate words. Ss. 251, 251A, 252, 253 and 254 of the Cr PC provided that the Magistrate may discharge the accused where the charge against the accused appears to be groundless indicates that the words 'charged with' cannot be said to mean framing of a charge, Lt.
