[Criminal Law Amendment Act (22 of 1966), s. 11]The word 'tried' in s.494 of the Code is not used in any limited sense and the s. is wide enough to cover every kind of inquiry and trial, and applicable to all cases which are capable of terminating either in a discharge or in an acquittal according to the stage at which the application for withdrawal is made, State of Bihar v.

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. Col. S.K. Kashyap v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1971 SC 1120 (1129): (1971) 2 SCC 126....

Jury
Jury [fr. jurata, Lat.; jure, Fr.], a number of persons sworn to deliver a verdict upon evidence delivered to them touching the issue.Trial by jury may be traced to the earliest Anglo-Saxon times. One of the judicial customs of the Saxons was that a man might be cleared of an accusation of certain crimes, if an appointed number of persons (juratores, or more properly compurgatores) came forward and swore to a veredictum, that they believed him innocent. It is remarkable that for accusations of any consequence among the Saxons on the continent, twelve juratores was the number required for an acquittal. Similar customs may be observed in the laws of Athens and Rome, where dikaotai and judices answer to jurors, an of the continental Angli and Frisiones, though the number of jurors varied.See, as to the introduction and growth of trial by jury in England, Forsyth's History of Trial by Jury; and for comments on and proposed amendments of the law, see Erle's Jury Laws and their Amendment, pu...
