• If the law which creates the offence gives it any specific name, the offence may be described in the charge by that name only.

•  The law and section of the law against which the offence is said to have been committed shall be mentioned in the charge. 
• The fact that the charge is made is equivalent to a statement that every legal condition required by law to constitute the offence charged was fulfilled in the  particular case.
•  The charge shall be written in the language of the Court.
•  If the accused, having been previously convicted of any offence, is liable, by reason of such previous conviction, to enhanced punishment, or to punishment of a different kind, for a subsequent offence, and it is intended to prove such previous conviction for the purpose of affecting the punishment which the Court may think fit to award for the subsequent offence, the fact, date and place of the previous conviction shall be stated in the charge; and if such statement has been omitted, the Court may add it at any time before sentence is passed.

Section 215 of Cr.P.C. provides the same. No error in stating either the offence or the particulars required to be stated in the charge, and no omission to state the offence or those particulars, shall be regarded at any stage of the case as material, unless the accused was in fact misled by such error or omission, and it has occasioned a failure of justice.

The correct answer is Section 218 (1) Cr. P.C.

Key Points

• Section 218(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) states that for every distinct offense, there shall be a separate charge and every charge shall be tried separately. The purpose of this rule is to ensure a fair trial and to avoid confusing the accused.

Explanation: According to Section 218 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, generally, each offence an accused person is charged with should have its own separate charge and each of these charges should be tried individually. This means that each offence is considered separately and is tried as such. Hence correct option is B

Section 219 CrPC talks about charge of same kind of offences. It says person can be charged with and tried at one trial for any number of such offences not exceeding three in the span of 12 months. 

Section 216(3) CrPC explains that if such alteration or addition does not prejudice the accused in his defence or the prosecution in its conduct of the case, then court can continue with the trial as if the altered or added charge had been the original charge. 

correct answer is effect of errors in charge.

Key Points.

• According to section 215 of code of criminal procedure no error in stating either the offence or the particulars required to be stated in the charge, and no omission to state the offence or those particulars, shall be regarded at any stage of the case as material, unless the accused was in fact misled by such error or omission, and it has occasioned a failure of justice.
• Example:- A is charged under section 242 of the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860 ), with" having been in possession of counterfeit coin, having known at the time when he became possessed thereof that such coin was counterfeit," the word" fraudulently" being omitted in the charge. Unless it appears that A was in fact misled by this omission, the error shall not be regarded as material.

Additional Information

• Section 464 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) deals with the effect of errors in legal proceedings. It essentially states that no finding, sentence, or order passed by a court of competent jurisdiction shall be deemed invalid merely on the ground that there was an error, omission, irregularity, or defect in the proceedings, unless it has resulted in a failure of justice.
• In simpler terms, not every mistake or irregularity in legal proceedings automatically renders the entire process invalid. The key consideration is whether the error has led to a miscarriage of justice. If the mistake is deemed to have substantially affected the fairness of the trial or the rights of the accused, it might be grounds for appeal or review.
